佛誕節慶典活動
Buddha Birth Day Festival
Since 1991, the Buddha Birth Day Festival has become one of
Queensland’s most notable cultural events and is recognised
for promoting peace, as well as celebrating Australia’s
harmony and diversity.
During our 22 years at the South Bank Parklands, the
festival attracted over 200,000 visitors per year and grew
into one of the largest Buddha Birth Day Festival
celebrations internationally. 2020 quickly became the year
of disruption as the COVID-19 pandemic hit worldwide, which
saw us go digital for the very first time with BBDF on Air.
In 2021, the ongoing instability of the pandemic led the
Buddha Birth Day Festival back home to the serene grounds of
Chung Tian Temple. Its success inspired the festival to
remain at the temple.
The 2024 Buddha Birth Day Festival celebrations will
continue at Chung Tian Temple and provide visitors with the
opportunity to immerse themselves in a wide range of
ceremonies and activities from the spiritual to the
cultural, such as tea meditation, Buddhist talks, a Baby
Blessing and multicultural performances.
We welcome you to leave your worries behind, find your inner
peace and experience the joy of the 2024 Buddha Birth Day
Festival.
