The beloved Brisbane Festival is coming to a close in the brightest way possible… enter Riverfire.
Brisbanites will flock in their masses to get an eyeful of the pyrotechnic extravaganza that is Sunsuper Riverfire on Saturday, 25 September, so we’ve rounded up some spots to watch (and eat and drink) the brightest night in Brisbane.
Riverbar and Kitchen is here to make sure your Riverfire night goes off with a bang. Celebrating the biggest night in Brisbane, enjoy a $135pp two-and-a-half-hour package that includes entertainment, booze, roving canapés and not one, but TWO charcuterie stations—need we say more? Boasting 180-degree views of the river and the Story Bridge, this riverfront oasis is loved for its chilled atmosphere, perfect location, and enticing eats—not to mention the unobstructed views of the fireworks. Head to Riverbar’s website for more info here.
Party the night away with a three-hour food and beverage package and 180-degree river views for $125pp!

If you’re braving the crowds for a stellar spot atop Kangaroo Point cliffs, make sure you have enough fuel to get through the night by picking up takeaway from One Fish Two Fish en route! As well as old school fish and chips (battered, grilled or crumbed, of course), you can grab freshly shucked oysters, snacks like soft shell crab bao buns, and even handy packs for two or four. Browse their menu and plan your drive-by on their
website.
Baby, you’re a firework!
