Welcome to Anywhere Festival Moreton Bay
Welcome to Anywhere Festival Moreton Bay 2026 – a celebration of creativity, community and the joy of live performance, popping up in unexpected places across our vibrant city from 8–24 May.
This year’s festival brings together an inspiring collection of local performers and visiting artists, transforming breweries, studios, living rooms, bowling clubs, community halls and other everyday spaces into stages for theatre, comedy, cabaret, storytelling, music, dance and more. By joining us at one (or many!) of these performances, you’re supporting independent artists, energising local businesses, and embracing the delight of staying local here in City of Moreton Bay.
Dive into this year’s program and start planning your May calendar.
Kids and family adventures
Rediscover the joy of child-like wonder with playful shows designed for families to experience together. The Amazing Bubble Show fills the air with shimmering creations of impossible shapes and sizes. Punk Rock Potter reimagines beloved characters from Beatrix Potter with slapstick, singalongs and lots of guitars.
Performances in unexpected places
Step into the extraordinary as artists transform everyday spaces into immersive worlds. The Elemental Being invites you into an aerial and dance journey through the five elements inside a pole and aerial Living Rooms turns a home into an intimate listening space for improvised jazz. And in Murder at the Bowlo, three local bowling clubs become the setting for a delightfully retro, meat-tray-motivated whodunnit.
Shakespeare – and make it funny
For those who like their classics served with a twist, you’ll love this trio of shows. Half Hour Hamlet squeezes the Bard’s most famous tragedy into a fast and furious family friendly romp. Pick & (re)Mix lets the audience decide which Shakespearean mini masterpieces hit the stage. Shakespeare Dying on Stage is a tour de force which stages every dramatic demise with chaotic glee.
Stories told powerfully
If gripping storytelling is your thing, be sure to catch OEDIPUS // END OF LINE, a bold reimagining of three Greek tragedies woven into one compelling tale. Or step into the musical world of The Middle Room, a heartfelt acoustic story of home, memory and the messy beauty of family.
Anywhere Festival Finale
Enjoy original shows made right here in City of Moreton Bay at the Finale event at Redcliffe Entertainment Centre. The foyer becomes a stage to feature young and emerging local performers. In main theatre you can be among the first to see two new works in development – Zietta and the Little Larrikins and Maria, the Musical.
It’s the perfect way to finish the festival: discovering new theatre, connecting with community, and celebrating the cultural richness across City of Moreton Bay.
