Skylore — Nieergoo: Spirit of the Whale
Hundreds of drones dazzle the night sky.
Skylore is a larger-than-life highlight of Brisbane Festival and a bright and bold celebration of our city, celebrating Culture and place. Now in its third annual iteration, Skylore has become a staple of the Festival.
Back by popular demand, Nieergoo: Spirit of the Whale returns to illuminate Brisbane’s skyline.
