Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre

One of Brisbane's most loved events is back — and this year it's perfectly timed for Christmas! Lifeline Bookfest and ComicFest return to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for five days only.

Step into a treasure trove of stories, with over one million pre-loved books, plus puzzles, comics, games, CDs, DVDs and collectibles waiting to be explored. Whether you're shopping for Christmas gifts, filling stockings, or stocking up on summer reads, there's something for everyone.

Don't miss ComicFest, where pop culture meets page-turners with a huge selection of comics, graphic novels, video games and retro finds. It's the ultimate pre-Christmas outing for families, fans and collectors alike.

Enjoy five festive days of bargains, discoveries and good vibes — all indoors and family-friendly, right in the heart of South Brisbane.

Best of all, every purchase supports Lifeline's 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services across Queensland. So while you shop, you're helping make sure no one faces their darkest moments alone.
