Welcome to Celebrate 88 - the
world-wide-web's one-stop encyclopedia to
the 1988 World Exposition - Brisbane's own
World Expo 88 - and a portal to Australia at
past, present, and future World Expositions.
With the end of Expo 2020 Dubai and its
rebirth as Expo City Dubai, our attention is
drawn further afield with the ongoing
planning for what will be the first Expo
post-pandemic at Osaka Japan in 2025. With
the theme "Designing Future Society for Our
Lives", I am proud to announce that
Australia will have a unique and robust
Pavilion with our northern neighbour,
highlighting the harmony and heritage of
Australia's first nations peoples and later
arrivals with the theme "Chasing the Sun".
And as the 35th anniversary of Expo 88 comes
to a close, we look further afield to the
40th anniversary in 2028 - just a few years
from now.
In other news, the Expo 88 Facebook group
continues to grow (now over 4,000 members),
who share their love of Brisbane's Expo
through its many popular postings of pins
found, memorabilia and mascots - largely due
to the creative credit of Jason Ford and
Peter Rasey.
Wherever you may be in the world, we hope
you enjoy your visit to celebrate88.com and
revisit or visit for the first time World
Expo 88 online, and join in our vibrant
online community at http://facebook.com/groups/expo88/
"Together, we'll show the world."
Stay safe, keep well and keep active.
With warm and cordial Queensland regards,
John R McGregor
