Ipswich in Autumn 2022

Message from Ipswich Mayor, Teresa Harding

With the heat fading from the days and cool night changes hinting at change in season, Autumn in Ipswich brings relief from summer and with it, nature’s colour show. Warm hues soften with the sun, bringing spectacular displays to our parks and gardens. It’s a good opportunity to enjoy a change in pace, a change of scenery, and the opportunity to celebrate new things to see, things to hear, do, as well as friends old and new. The changing of seasons is the inspiration for many of our previous entrants in the Ipswich Art Awards, which returns in 2022, for a 10-day exhibition that showcases the best of our local and regional talent. And back due to popular demand in 2022 is the Planes, Trains and Autos Festival following a successful inaugural event last year. One of my personal highlights from 2021, don’t miss what promises to be bigger and better show this year. We also have a packed and star- studded line up coming to the Civic Centre this Autumn, including John Paul Young as well as tribute Front Cover Image: Ipswich Childrens Library If you have any feedback regarding the Autumn Guide, please email council@ipswich.qld.gov.au or visit Ipswich.qld.gov.au Disclaimer: Published by Ipswich City Council © 2022 At time of printing all information is current and correct.

performances dedicated to Queen, Roy Orbison, Janis Joplin and Abba. Autumn is also a time to commemorate the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country, with ANZAC Day services to be held at cenotaphs and in local communities across the city. Go to our website to find a list of the services and marches taking place around our great city and register to take part. The Ipswich Art Gallery will also host the Australian War Memorial Touring Exhibition, Ink in the Lines, a look at the stories behind the tattoos of Australia’s modern veterans and how they use ink to remember people, events and experiences. Critically acclaimed, this is an exhibition not to be missed. There’s plenty happening in and around our city this Autumn, with vibrant dining and nightlife, outdoor adventures under crisp skies, and

family-friendly events for all. Whatever you choose to do in Ipswich this autumn, stay safe, have fun and continue to enjoy this magical city of ours.
