If you're searching for an unforgettable way to experience Brisbane’s natural beauty illuminated by light, colour, and art, then look no further than Lightscape.
Returning to the City Botanic Gardens for another mesmerising stint, this luminous, after-dark spectacle is set to take your breath away once again. As part of Brisbane Festival 2024, Lightscape will be showcasing immersive, large-scale installations that combine artistry, nature, and technology in perfect harmony. Running until October 12, this event promises a night-time adventure through Brisbane's lush greenery, unlike anything you've seen before.
A Journey Through Light and Colour
At Lightscape, every step is a journey through a wonderland of light and colour. As you wander through the two-kilometre illuminated trail, you'll find yourself immersed in glowing, multi-coloured trees, sparkling pathways, and ribbons of flashing beams that guide you through the garden’s natural beauty. Large-scale installations, including glowing tunnels and larger-than-life flowers, create a multisensory experience, making you feel as though you're walking through a dream.
This year’s festival doesn’t just stop at re-creating last year’s magic. New installations and works from both local and international artists have been added, providing fresh and exciting perspectives. Whether you’re a returning visitor or attending for the first time, expect to be awed by the grandeur and creativity on display.
New Additions and First Nations Artwork
While many of the installations will be familiar to those who attended in 2023, Lightscape 2024 brings something new to the table with stunning works from Queensland First Nations artists Paul Bong (aka Bindur Bullin) and Michelle Yeatman. Their pieces add a culturally rich layer to the event, blending history, heritage, and artistry with the beauty of light.
These sculptures will stand proudly amongst the illuminated landscape, offering visitors moments of reflection and awe. As you stroll through this vibrant atmosphere, the glow from these unique pieces will guide you through both an artistic and spiritual journey, adding depth and meaning to the visual spectacle.
A Festival for the Senses
Beyond the lights, Lightscape offers a full sensory experience with soundscapes and pop-up food and drink stalls along the route. Whether you're in the mood for a quick snack or a hot beverage to enjoy as you stroll, the festival's pop-ups ensure your evening is as satisfying for your taste buds as it is for your eyes.
The sounds of the festival are as much a part of the experience as the visuals. Carefully curated music will complement the illuminated surroundings, creating an atmospheric soundtrack to your journey. These multisensory elements elevate the Lightscape event into a celebration of both art and life, bringing visitors closer to nature in a unique and exciting way.
