The Mountains to Mangroves Festival is a biennial regional arts and environment festival that celebrates the connection between the North Brisbane community and its natural environment.
The Festival engages communities from 16 suburbs along the Mt Nebo to Boondall Wetlands corridor in arts, environmental and recreational projects over a 17 day period.
Mountains to Mangroves concept has been developed by a broad coalition of interested parties including key environment groups located along the corridor, historical groups, community organisations and arts agencies and individual. The Festival has been in existence since 1995. In 1999 and 2001 the festivals further raised the profile of the corridor including much larger arts and activity programs in schools and through community groups.

| What is the aim of the Festival? | |
The Festival seeks to draw together the creative energies of communities and individuals who have a commitment to enhancing the profile, appreciation and understanding of the unique corridor of bushland on Brisbane's Northside, which extends from Camp Mountain in the D'Aguilar Range to Boondall Wetlands on Moreton Bay.
This green corridor supports a myriad of animal and plant species. It's also a great place for the human species to relax and enjoy some nature-based recreation.

The MOUNTAINS TO MANGROVES FESTIVAL program includes a broad range activities for everyone to enjoy. Festival activities include guided day and night tours of the corridor, 'Meeting of the Corridor' walks, plantings, community concerts, art installations, workshops and activities. The aim of the activities is to link the people of the Mountains to Mangroves Corridor with their place in its history, its environment and its future.
