NightFest will return to Commonwealth Park for four nights from 28 September to 1 October 2023.
Tickets are now on sale for this year’s NightFest, with an exciting program of after dark live entertainment and stunning horticultural illuminations from 28 September to 1 October 2023.
Floriade, along with NightFest, continues to be one of Canberra’s biggest tourist attractions.
Each evening from 6.30pm until 10.30pm each night, Commonwealth Park invites you to experience a Floral Wonderland of lights, colour, entertainment and, of course, fabulous food. Lighting installations will highlight the garden beds, including giant neon butterflies in the rhododendron garden and scores of illuminated floating flowers on Kangaroo Pond.
NightFest will also showcase many local and interstate live music performances, including legendary artists Vika and Linda.
Three stages will feature Canberra based acts including Monica Moore, Finley Geach, Harry Cleverdon and Ben Drysdale.
NightFest explores Floriade’s dark side with the Wonderland Spiegeltent running two shows per night of Popcorn Underground, a world class cabaret. The adults only show requires an additional ticket for entry, which can be added when purchasing NightFest tickets online.
NightFest offers something for all the family with roving entertainers from the Fool Factory and Warehouse Circus, children’s favourites the Gecko Gang and free children’s activities in the Floriade Sprouts zone.
NightFest tickets are on sale now – $35 for adults, $27 child, $30 concession and $97 for a family of 4 – children under five are free. Adults only Spiegeltent tickets are also available for an additional $49 each. Transaction fees also apply.
