Afterglow

Let the fire guide you this September, as the City Botanic Gardens come alive with Afterglow - a breathtaking new after-dark experience that invites you to follow the flame into a world of wonder.

Journey through a glowing dreamscape of fire sculptures, candlelit installation live performances and illumination. Beneath tree canopies and across shimmering waters, the gardens will transform into a living artwork of flame and shadow as night falls and time slows.

Follow the trail through stories whispered in smoke, where every step draws you deeper into a world where light bends through branches, fire pulses in rhythm, and embers flicker.

With ambient soundscapes curated to stir the soul and design-led installations crafted by world-renowned fire artists and local creatives, Afterglow is a slow-burn multisensory journey designed to spark wonder, reflection, and awe.

Whether you’re bringing the family, planning a date night, or seeking a quiet escape, Afterglow is for everyone.

Come for the magic. Stay for the stillness. Leave glowing long after the night ends.
