The Brisbane Gothic and Alternative Picnic is such an important part of Brisbane's alt community, so hearing they needed some time out to sort out the ever-increasing costs of running an event like that according to Brisbane City Council's legal requirements, well! We had to jump in and help! It would not be a tradition without their hard work over the last 13 years!

So without further adieu, The Crimson Rose Masquerade Ball and The Brisbane Gothic and Alternative Picnic are joining together to invite you to...
