It will run concurrently with the Brisbane Dog Lovers Festival on Saturday 9 & Sunday 10 March, 2024 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from 9:30am to 5pm daily.

Set to be the most furbulous, feline-focused festival ever held in Queensland to celebrate everything that’s so cool about cats! It’s that one special weekend a year when kitty-lovers can unite to proclaim their love for these wonderful creatures and immerse themselves in all things feline.
