The Gabba precinct will transform into a hub of culture and cricket fever with Gabba Summer Fest, a new fan festival that will come to life during the third Test of the highly anticipated NRMA Insurance Border-Gavaskar series between Australia and India.

Running from December 14-15 across the first two days of the Test, Gabba Summer Fest will be free and open to the public in Woolloongabba Place Park outside Gate 2. The Indian inspired festival will create a vibrant supporter site with music, food and a big screen to watch all the action from the ground, offering the perfect mix of cricket, culture and community.

Key features of the festival include:

  • Entertainment: Bollywood dance performances, live music from local band, and interactive experiences including henna art and turban-tying.
  • Viewing Lounge: A casual seating area complete with beanbags and a live screen to enjoy every moment of the match.
  • Food Trucks: Serving authentic Indian cuisine and fan favorites.

The festival is made possible through the support of Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) and the Brisbane Economic Development Agency (BEDA), showcasing Brisbane as a premier destination for world-class events.

Gabba Summer Fest offers cricket fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in the shared love of cricket and culture, adding to one of the most anticipated fixtures of the Brisbane summer.

Cricket Australia Executive General Manager, Events & Operations Joel Morrison said,“The NRMA Insurance Border-Gavaskar Test at the Gabba is more than just a cricket match; it’s a celebration of the incredible connection between Australia and India. Gabba Summer Fest enhances this iconic event by offering fans a unique blend of world-class cricket and the vibrant spirit of Indian culture.”

Minister for the Environment and Tourism and Minister for Science and Innovation, Andrew Powell, said, “We’re in for an exciting blend of culture and true sportsmanship with the NRMA Insurance Border-Gavaskar Test at the Gabba, this match is definitely not one to miss.
“Culture, community and cricket collide with this incredible two-day Bollywood inspired festival, Gabba Summer Fest, and you don’t need to hold a ticket to the match to attend. It’s completely free and sure to draw an excited crowd who will immerse themselves in music and food, all while watching the match on the big screen.”
