People are invited to visit and participate in the various events and activities which are part of the Einbunpin Festival on Sunday 30th of July 2023. This is an annual community held on the last Sunday in July each year.
Since 1992, the Einbunpin Festival is a celebration by and for the community about those things that make the Sandgate district special – the village atmosphere, the environment and the diverse talents and cultures that make up the community.
The Festival Committee is made up of a number of locals who volunteer to make the event a success. And since its inception, the Einbunpin Festival has been auspiced by SANDBAG.
The Einbunpin Festival continues to provide an opportunity for the community to come together and show-off the vibrancy and artistic talents found in the district. It’s a great chance to learn more about our local community, and catch up with friends.
Held in the heart of Sandgate, the Festival is held around the lagoon and parkland in Brighton Road Sandgate (bordered by Keogh Street, Lagoon Street and Bowser Parade).
The day includes something for everyone – stalls, entertaining performances by locals, as well as games and activities.
The Brisbane City Council has again been the backbone of support for the event, with sponsorship since 1992. Since its inception, local community organisation Sandgate & Bracken Ridge Action Group has auspiced the event.
The Einbunpin Festival is a short walk from the Sandgate Railway Station and Bus Interchange – so visit the TransLink website to plan your journey by public transport.
Please note, parking at the Einbunpin Festival is very limited.
Einbunpin Festival – Something’s Going On!
Pete Vance – July 2013
Sandgate resident and winner of the 2007 Brisbane Seniors Superstar Peter Vance has written a special Einbunpin Festival Song. He’s beautifully captured the essence of the Festival.
Pete’s currently performing this at Seniors Showcase Concerts around Brisbane.

Something’s going on… It’s called Einbunpin
Something’s going on… real soon
A festival of fun… Einbunpin
Music and magic embrace… our lagoon
Sandgate spirit comes alive with stalls a plenty
Children make boats for the annual race
The mythical Bunpin asks you for a photo
And you feel that grin all over your face
Something’s going on… a party never ending
The moment that you wear your Einbunpin grin
Something’s going on… It’s called Einbunpin
A festival of fun… for you
A festival of fun… real soon
Einbunpin Festival… for you!
