What’s On?

Live Music

Colombiataka is back! From Brisbane, this incredible salsa, merengue and bachata band, lit up our stage a couple of years ago, and now they're returning to HOLA to get everyone dancing once again with their energetic and unforgettable live show.

La Verde, originally from South America, blends organic textures, hypnotic electronic beats, and the deep resonance of the yidaki (didgeridoo) to create a truly unique musical experience. Featuring live vocals, trumpet, mixing, and more. La Verde will be bringing a special Latin-inspired set created exclusively for HOLA!

DJ Dabito

Our very own house DJ returns to close out the night. If you've been to HOLA before, you already know there is no better way to finish the evening. DJ Dabito will be bringing all the bangers and keeping the dance floor packed until the very end.

Special Theatre Performance: Unsettled

This time we're bringing something a little different.

Born in Argentina, Agustina is bringing her sold-out show to HOLA for a very special performance.

Have you ever survived the chaos of life abroad? Agustina has, and she has transformed those experiences into Unsettled : a one-woman theatre show filled with laughter, honesty, and moments that hit right in the heart. Expect a messy, funny, and deeply relatable journey through the highs and lows of finding home and yourself.

Dance Lessons

Never tried salsa before? No worries! Our expert instructors will guide you through the basics, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to level up your moves.

Artist Village

Discover our Artist Village, where talented creatives will showcase, exhibit, and sell their artwork. Explore interactive and dynamic spaces where you can contribute to collaborative art pieces, unleash your creativity through painting, or bring the little ones along to enjoy dedicated creative activities.

Food & Drinks

Come hungry! Alongside many of your favourite HOLA food stalls, we'll also be welcoming exciting new vendors serving up delicious Latin American flavours.

Our bars will be fully stocked with special drinks, including Fernet, signature cocktails, and plenty of refreshing options to keep the celebrations going all day..... and night.
