Each day brings ‘Bluey o’clock’, with episodes of the eponymous show screened in Japanese on the pavilion stage from 11am and 1pm. On weekends after the 11am Bluey episode, Bluey and her little sister Bingo will make special mascot appearances – a must for families eager to meet the lovable sibling duo from Brisbane. You can also join in themed events inspired by popular episodes like Duck Cake, and take home Bluey giveaways from paper crafts to playful ears.
Besides the cute animated action, the Australian Pavilion showcases a vibrant line-up of culture from Down Under, from nightly sets by the internationally acclaimed Affinity Quartet to Tjupurru’s electrifying fusion of traditional sounds and futuristic tech on the ‘Didjeribone’. There are also film screenings like Chase the Sun by social enterprise Bus Stop Films, and more.
