For five nights only, Commonwealth Park is transformed into an illuminated wonderland of beautiful blooms and non-stop entertainment. Floriade NightFest will enchant you with everything from movies under the stars, comedy, acrobatics, cocktails, bustling night markets, food, wine and plenty more to keep you entertained the whole night long.
Take a ride on the giant 35-metre Ferris wheel and be captivated by the stunning evening view of Commonwealth Park and its surrounds. Pack a picnic and head for the giant inflated screen where you can watch The Twilight Saga: New Moon (22 September), Filmtasia: Aussie Shorts (23 September), Mamma Mia! (24 September), Alice in Wonderland (25 September) and Up (26 September).
Visit the Carnival Stage where performers such as Patrick McCullagh, Dave Thornton, Mr Quirk, Jacques the Cheeky French Waiter and the List Operators will have you in stitches.
Sneak away from the festivities to Garnier World, a living, breathing beauty paradise where you can be pampered with complimentary treatments including mini massages, facials or a hair styling. Continue to spoil yourself by dropping into the Butterfly Lounge for delectable cocktails and groovy tunes by a great line-up of DJs and musicians.
Watch renowned floral designers, Michael Woods from the House of Holland Florist and Bernie Gadd from Champagne and Roses Florist, create beautiful arrangements in the ActewAGL Look 'n' Learn Marquee.
There’s plenty for the kids as well, including the National Zoo & Aquarium’s Riveting Reptiles and ever popular carnival rides. Visit the Floriade Kids’ corner for side-splitting comedy and amazing acrobatics by The Gigalees Crazy Circus Show or for some clever and fun relaxation with the Animalates ‘sleepy animals’ classes.
This year you will be surprised by hidden delights and surrounded by breathtaking lighting that sprawls from the garden beds into the trees and skies above. From a surreal green luminescent alien landscape to a dazzling vista of stars and searchlight beams, immerse yourself in the spectacular festivities that will make this year’s Floriade NightFest more magical than ever.
