Snap a pic or 10 as you journey through a dreamscape of fire sculptures, candlelit installations, and live performances.  The City Botanic Gardens come alive with Afterglow — a breathtaking after-dark experience that invites you to follow the flame into a world of wonder.

Get your crew together and dress up in 1920s glam at GATSBY at the Green Light. Be immersed in cabaret, variety, and contemporary music, and enjoy a martini as Brisbane’s beloved Twelfth Night Theatre transforms into The Green Light, the hottest club in town — owned by none other than the great Gatsby himself. 

Slap on some sequins, bring some attitude, and come join the fun at the ultimate dance showdown! The annual competition is fierce, the outfits are bold, and the moves are body rollin’. But there can only be one winner! Who will be crowned the champion and take home all the glory?

With bold colours, a beautiful backdrop, and spring weather, these larger-than-life installations on Brisbane's walking bridges are the perfect spot for a photoshoot. The city becomes a stage as Craig & Karl transform the Neville Bonner Bridge, the Goodwill Bridge, and the new Kangaroo Point Bridge with incredible public art.

Find the perfect spot to snap the action at the iconic fireworks spectacular that is Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust. Bring your friends and get ready to be swept up in the colour, energy and joy of Brisbane’s biggest night.

Make sure you have lots of space on your camera roll, because you won't want to miss a moment of this one-of-a-kind spectacle. Watch as hundreds of drones soar above the Brisbane River as Traditional Owner Yuggera and Toorabul man Shannon Ruska and Tribal Experiences retell this powerful story of Culture, Country, and connection to place.

The best place to be seen, meet, and celebrate is the Festival Club at QPAC. Melbourne Street Green plays host to live music, a vibrant food and drink scene, and a surprising line-up of high-energy after-dark entertainment. So wear that look and keep the summer soirée going as the celebrations continue throughout September.
