Celebrating Brisbane's Biggest Night

Riverfire has become one of Brisbane's most anticipated annual events and traditionally marks the opening of the Brisbane Festival. As the sun sets over the city, hundreds of thousands of people gather along the riverbanks, bridges, parks, restaurants and rooftops to witness an incredible fireworks display that lights up the Brisbane skyline.

The evening is much more than fireworks. It is a celebration of Brisbane itself – its beautiful river, vibrant hospitality, world-class entertainment and welcoming community. Throughout the city you'll find restaurants hosting special dinners, rooftop bars offering premium viewing experiences, hotels creating exclusive accommodation packages, and family-friendly events that make the night memorable for visitors of all ages. Riverfire continues to grow as one of Australia's premier city celebrations.
