QPAC’s Out of the Box Festival for children under 8 at Southbank in Brisbane is about to start (8-14 June) and this year the program of events for children once again looks fantastic!
This year the festival is celebrating its 10th birthday, and it is sure to ’ inspire, educate and entertain school children, their families and teachers’. In 2008 more than 50,000 people attended the festival and the program for 2010 does not look like it will disappoint.

- Pirates – The Flying Fruit Fly Circus of 10-17 year old acrobats
- The Composer is Dead – a hysterical performance by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra
