In a world where everything has a price, there is little that is available for free. People are always pursuing one intangible goal, and will go any length to achieve this – happiness. The hallmark of The Festival of Chariots is to freely give this happiness to people. Throughout the chariot procession, onlookers are encouraged to come forward and partake in the pulling of the chariot, it symbolizes their role in the festival – an event for the people, by the people.
Our mission is to give back to the community that we have been part of for over twenty years now, through an event that embraces diversity and culture. Brisbane has been home to a growing community of ISKCON, and the Festival of Chariots is perhaps our most significant annual celebration of sharing with the wider Brisbane community.
