Lifeline Brisbane Bookfest

Lifeline Brisbane Bookfest: The Greatest Story Ever Told

Brisbane's favourite treasure hunt returns these winter school holidays as the Lifeline Bookfest Brisbane takes over the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

With more than one million pre-loved books, comics, vinyl records, puzzles, games and collectables spread across kilometres of tables, Bookfest is a must-visit for families, book lovers, collectors and curious browsers alike. Whether you're building your holiday reading stack, hunting hidden gems, entertaining the kids or discovering your next favourite author, every visit promises something different — with new stock added daily.

ComicFest also returns, bringing together manga, graphic novels, retro games, pop culture collectables and fan favourites for all ages.

Warm, indoors and completely free to enter, it's one of Brisbane's most-loved community events and the perfect school holiday day out.

Best of all, every purchase supports Lifeline Queensland's 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention services across Queensland — helping turn pre-loved stories into life-changing support for people who need it most.
