It’s that time of year again, folks! The AIA Carnival is back in town, running until 17 February, 2019.

And when you need to take a break from all the fun, there is a selection of Carnival Eats available throughout the space to fill you up. Get ready for selfie installations, free entertainment on the Community Stage, orchestra and youth performances, and much, much more.
