If you love a bit of history and you'd like to take a walk down memory lane, look no further than Redcliffe Remembers.

This nostalgic event will close the two week long Redcliffe Festival on Sunday 11th September, celebrating the richness of Redcliffe's past. The foreshore area will be transformed to honour and celebrate the iconic people and places from past and present.

The event will begin with a re-enactment of the first landing in Redcliffe on the beach, followed by the Gubbi Gubbi people providing the indigenous welcome.

Redcliffe Remembers is a celebration of the Redcliffe Peninsula as the location of the first European settlement in Queensland,

explains Luke Richter-Steers, Marketing and Media Manager of the Redcliffe Festival.

Stage entertainment will delight festival goers with performances from Little Stevie and the Tail Fins, acoustic Celtic band The Life of Reilly, the Redcliffe Scottish Pipe Band, Moreton Celtic Fiddle Club, The Lovely-Daze, and The Brief Divide. Take a break from the festivities while enjoying these talented performers.

Wander through the various food and market stalls, listen to the beautiful sounds of the guitar, harmonica, percussion, flute, didgeridoos, accordion, and the tuba of the street performers and buskers. The markets will be even bigger than usual and will offer food, drinks and specialty stalls. If you're after something more bespoke head to Picnic Park, the home of Handmade Market Lane where you can find local, indie craft.

If historic cars are more your thing, Redcliffe Parade will have over 100 custom and classic cars on display. If you'd rather be driving, enter one of the Billy Cart Races at Charlish Park for some fun. A recreated Penny Arcade with a modern twist, a vintage High Tea, and Historical Guided walk will also be happening throughout the day. The High Tea hosted by History Redcliffe is a new addition to the program this year and is an attraction we anticipate to be hugely popular, says Luke.
