Botanic by Night: NightGlow

Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha

Experience the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha after dark this September School Holidays! Botanic by Night: NightGlow is a brand-new lantern experience featuring 11 massive light installations inspired by native Australian wildlife. Walk the 837-metre illuminated path to see towering koalas, platypuses, emus and kangaroos standing up to 2.3 metres tall. Designed by Ample Projects alongside First Nations artists, this magical night blends stunning artistry with Indigenous storytelling, delicious local food trucks and an eco-friendly footprint. The event has been shaped by expert ecological advice to respect the natural landscape and resident wildlife. During the event, you can marvel at giant light sculptures of dingoes and echidnas measuring up to 4.6 metres long. The unique artistic collaborations showcase both local and interstate Indigenous stories. You can also grab dinner or a bite to eat under the stars from local food trucks. Brisbane residents can take advantage of special discounted ticket pricing. The event is located at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha and tickets are on sale now. Book your session today on the official Botanic by Night website.
