BrisFest Lights Up
Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust ignites the skyline on the opening weekend of this year’s Brisbane Festival.
One of the most spectacular pyrotechnic displays in Australia, bridges, barges and city rooftops provide the backdrop for this well-loved annual event.
Heralding the start of BrisFest 2023, a weekend full of big music moments, theatre experiences and late night naughty shows thrown in for good measure awaits!

#Saturday Spectacular
Experience the ever-popular Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust as the most spectacular night of the year returns to light up Brisbane Festival opening weekend! Then for those sans children, why not partake in a little late night cabaret at South Bank Piazza 😉

Things to do in Brisbane
Brisbane is a place to relax, recharge and get outdoors.
The sub-tropical climate makes for a city of lush green parks and gardens, miles upon miles of riverside walkways, and dozens of al fresco bars restaurants better than anywhere else. Our adjacent islands are packed with sand dunes, ancient shipwrecks and pristine beaches.
