South Bank’s Summer of Wonder Is Bringing the Festive Heat

Get ready to feel the summer sizzle as South Bank’s Summer of Wonder takes over from 14 December 2024 to 27 January 2025. This isn’t just any summer—it’s a full-blown celebration packed with festive cheer, sun-soaked fun, and non-stop good vibes. Whether you're rolling in with the fam, your crew, or flying solo, South Bank’s got something epic lined up to keep you entertained all season long.

The holiday vibes kick off from 14 to 22 December with a Christmas program that'll have you jingling all the way. Bring the little ones to Santa Meet & Greets at Flowstate for those must-have festive pics, let them be enchanted by Storytime with Mrs Claus, or get crafty with the Christmas Workshops.

As the sun sets, make your way to Riverside Green for Twilight Christmas Carols at 5:30 pm, or head to River Quay for live music—playing weekdays from 5:30 pm and weekends from 2:00 pm. Let the festive tunes fill the air and get you in the holiday spirit! When 6:30 pm hits, the South Bank Christmas Parade takes centre stage—think dancers, performers, and a magical Christmas Train winding through the parklands.

Got gifts to grab? Stroll through the Collective Markets: Christmas Edition from 10 am to 9 pm daily along Little Stanley Street. It’s your go-to for unique finds, festive treats, and artisan goodies. And don’t miss the dazzling Christmas Tree at Stanley Street Plaza, complete with surprise pop-up performances throughout December to keep the magic alive.

Plus, enjoy a holiday flick under the stars at the Open Air Cinema in the Cultural Forecourt. After Christmas, dive into the quintessential Aussie summer! Get active with free play sports and catch live sports on the big screen at South Bank’s Summer Hub, located right by the Brisbane sign. Foodies can indulge in live music, food trucks, and pop-up bars, adding extra flavour to those warm evenings. Feeling adventurous? Lose yourself in the South Bank Maze at the Piazza, where every twist and turn is filled with Insta-worthy surprises.

Of course, no South Bank day is complete without a bite to eat. Whether you’re after riverside snacks or a long, lazy lunch, there’s a spot to suit every craving. From breezy cafés to family-friendly feasts, South Bank’s dining has got you covered.

Mark your calendars—South Bank’s Summer of Wonder is your ticket to unforgettable Brisbane memories this season!
