KBF entertainment venue wins award for accessibility

The Kingston Butter Factory (KBF) Cultural Precinct has once again claimed the ‘Accessible Venue of the Year’ title at last night’s 2024 Queensland Music Awards.

The City of Logan’s largest entertainment venue – now a 2-time winner of the prize – includes a ground-floor theatre, an outdoor stage, a museum and a community-focussed art gallery.

The KBF Cultural Precinct is now on the ‘must-do’ list for entertainment buffs and families, thanks to its wide range of offerings which include concerts, shows, markets and special occasions.

Locals and beyond can look forward to performances at the KBF Cultural Precinct by the likes of country star Briana Dinsdale (pictured above) and more – check out who is performing at the KBF Cultural Precinct by heading over to the Our Logan What’s On page for upcoming events in Logan.
