Building on the success of its debut last year, the immersive experience promises to elevate the gardens to new heights of wonder, captivating all who venture within.

As a cornerstone event of the upcoming Brisbane Festival, Lightscape will launch on 29th August, transforming the familiar landscape into a two-kilometre odyssey of illuminated enchantment. Attendees will find themselves strolling beneath radiant canopies, exploring forests alive with laser light, and gazing in awe at colossal, luminous blooms.

Two custom installations by Queensland First Nations artists Paul Bong and Michelle Yeatman are unique to this year’s showcase. This will weave an extra layer of cultural significance into the Lightscape tapestry, offering a deeper connection to the land and its stories.

With an ambition to outshine even the dazzling Riverfire spectacle, Lightscape is poised to become an unmissable attraction for both Brisbane residents and visitors from afar. Tickets are already available for purchase, and the exhibition will grace the gardens until 12th October, allowing ample time to experience the magic.

This year’s Lightscape promises to be an even more immersive and memorable experience, pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology.
