About the Event
The Festival of Chariots is one of the oldest and continuously celebrated festivals in the world. It involves the pulling of large chariots through city streets, and is coming through the streets of Brisbane CBD on April 29th this year.
The procession culminates in a free, community festival in the prestigious King George Square. The culture and spirit of life is represented through a variety of artistic forms, free entertainment and healthy vegetarian meals. There is something that reaches out to everyone – crossing all barriers of age, ethnicity, gender and cultural background. It is a celebration of the vibrancy and diversity of Brisbane, organized by volunteers of Hare Krishna Food For Life, the charitable arm of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
