FESTIVAL OF TIBET 2023
22nd -23rd June • Brisbane
The 15th Festival of Tibet is a celebration of the resilience and optimism of the Tibetan people
All funds raised will be donated to the Tibetan Children’s Village, India to support the education of Tibetan refugee children.
Brisbane-based Tibetan-Australian artist and Grammy nominee Tenzin Choegyal has just unveiled the 2023 Brisbane Festival of Tibet with two exclusive, one-off events at Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm, QLD.
This year marks the Festival’s 15-year milestone, an achievement made possible thanks to the many participants and visitors who have come along each year, a strong group of volunteers and generous support from long-term partner Perfect Potion. In that time the Festival has featured a stellar line-up of artists, dignitaries and speakers, highlighted important issues through discussion and debate, showcased Tibet’s unique arts and culture and raised thousands of dollars for the education of Tibetan refugee children.
