Welcome to Portuguese Language Playgroup - Brisbane

Join us in The Parlour at the State Library for a joyful gathering that celebrates the rhythm and richness of the Portuguese language. Each session is led by Marina, Beatriz and Larissa, who bring rhymes, songs and stories inspired by Brazilian traditions. Through drumming, dance, and rhythm, they share the vibrant spirit of Brazil and the joy of cultural connection. Our playgroup is entirely in Portuguese, helping children strengthen their language skills while experiencing the warmth, music, and traditions shared across Portuguese-speaking cultures. Families from all Portuguese backgrounds are warmly welcomed. We can’t wait to see you and your little ones at our next gathering! Estamos muito felizes em receber você e sua família no nosso próximo encontro!
