Gabba Fridays: Activating Gabba’s Logan Road Precinct

Coming up:
Fri 28 August 2026

Put these dates in your diary for some free outdoor dancing, hosted by the Swing Patrol team. The events will be on the fourth Friday of each month in June, July & August.

This project is sponsored by the Visa Vibe Grants Program, activating public spaces at night and expanding more affordable, safer, and inclusive experiences that drive local community connection.

It’s a fabulous initiative, and Swing Patrol have been invited to play a role in activating the Gabba Logan Road Precinct. There will even be a proper portable timber dance floor and lighting. The sound system we will be using is next level – a serious outdoor sound system compared to what we’ve used before! Our troupe, The Swing Outs, will be on hand, as well as our senior teachers to offer taster lessons, games and ensure these are really well-curated events. Bring your friends, enjoy the performances and plenty of social dancing.

Take a look at our team dancing up a storm at the first Gabba Friday, back in June, on the Swing Patrol Aus YouTube channel.

Friday 28 August 2026, 5.30pm – 8.30pm
Including FREE taster lessons:
5.30pm (Swing Kids taster) w. Heather & Scottie
6.30pm w. Leigh & Scottie
7.30pm w. Leigh & Brian
Location: South City Square, 148 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba QLD 4102
Parking beneath the Woolworths, food trucks galore, and a great space to dance.

On this is a unique occasion we’re sharing the dance floor with the good people from Boogie Latino. We’ll take turns in terms of musical vibes, and be sharing the space with our Latin dance friends.

Just follow the music from our next-level outdoor sound system, to our fancy outdoor dancefloor, and we’ll get you dancing!
