Whether you would prefer to spend your evening wandering through the night markets or chilling out with a cocktail while listening to some smooth tunes, Floriade NightFest has something for you.
Now in its seventh year, the ticketed twilight event will transform Commonwealth Park into an illuminated wonderland featuring brilliant lighting designs, roving performers, bustling markets and a fantastic line up of entertainment over five nights.
Floriade Nightfest’s new performance space, The Balloon Arena, will surprise visitors with pockets of activity and quirky circus acts, while The Inspiration Hub will present a taste sensation through a variety of food and wine related workshops.
Each night visitors can relax with a drink in The Moonlight Lounge while enjoying side-splitting comedy from world-renowned comedians Tom Gleeson and Luke McGregor, and music from a great line up of local DJs.
Crowds can also choose to wander through the night markets, take in stunning views from the 35-metre Ferris wheel or interact with roving performers such as one-man band Uptown Brown and tongue-tied mimes.
Floriade’s Adelina La Vita said Floriade NightFest offered an experience like no other.
“Its magical atmosphere and great line up of entertainment provides something for everyone to enjoy,” she said.
“I strongly encourage you to purchase tickets early to avoid missing out on this fantastic event.”
Floriade NightFest attracted a record crowd of 33,612 people in 2013, with tickets selling out on one night and the event nearing capacity most other nights.
