Lightscape

Brisbane’s cultural scene is in constant overdrive and promising weekends full of wonder and weekdays, adventure. Lose yourself in an after-dark oasis of botanical brilliance for the Brisbane Festival event – Lightscape.From Thursday August 31 to Sunday, October 8, the City Botanic Gardens will light up when the sun goes down, becoming a technicolour wonderland of music and light, designed and curated to highlight the park’s unique features. The self-guided tour takes you on a 2-km trail under glowing tree canopies filled with colour, through sparkling tunnels of shimmering light, and alongside neon roots bursting from the undergrowth – made all the more spellbinding with the trickling of soundscape throughout.

Wanderers of all ages will embark on the immersive venture and take sight of larger-than-life flowers, high-flying dazzling foliage, and ethereal beauty from fields of light. Presented by Brisbane Festival and Sony Music Entertainment, Lightscape will mark its Queensland debut and feature First Nations-led projections from local artists among leading international talent. Make a night of it and gather friends for pre- and post-trail tipple and eats from the host of food and beverage offerings on-site. Session times start from 5:45 pm in 15-minute intervals and are an anticipated 90-minute journey. Tickets for this garden gallivant start at $28 – purchase yours here.
