Volunteer Opportunities - Night Feast and Melt Festival bei Brisbane Powerhouse

Volunteer Opportunities –  Night Feast and Melt Festival from 15 October 2025 to 9 November 2025 

Brisbane Powerhouse is proud to present two of the city’s most exciting cultural events: Night Feast, an immersive art and feasting experience that transforms Brisbane Powerhouse and the surrounding parklands into a vibrant culinary and creative playground, and Melt, our annual celebration of Queer art, artists, and ideas, showcasing bold performances, exhibitions, parades, and events that champion diversity and creativity.

To help deliver this outstanding event and festival, Brisbane Powerhouse is seeking a passionate team of volunteers to support both Night Feast and Melt, cementing Brisbane’s reputation as a cultural destination worth travelling for.
