The civic heart of Brisbane Festival.From sunrise to last call Verso Projects. Festival Village, South Bank is the civic heart of Brisbane Festival - a riverside gathering place alive with music, performance, food, art and nightlife from sunrise to late night.As the city wakes, mornings begin with sunrise rituals, soundscapes, movement and daybreak dance parties by the river. Through the day, the Village hums with free activities for all ages - giant singalongs, pop-up performances, workshops, conversations and moments of surprise around every corner.Then, as night falls, the energy shifts. Bright Nights by ANZ transforms the skyline in an explosion of sound, water and light, and the Village switches on after dark with live music, DJs and late-night revelry.Come for a headline show or stumble into something completely unexpected. Grab a drink, pull up a seat by the river, follow the lights, join the party and stay for one more. The Village is where the city gathers to switch on, light up and come alive together.Brisbane Festival is an initiative of the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council.
