NightFest, Floriade’s ticketed illuminated wonderland returns to Canberra for five nights of live entertainment, food and much more! Spend your evenings in the flowerbeds with Kate Miller-Heidke, Arj Barker and more as NightFest returns from 6.30pm – 10.30pm from Wednesday 26 September through to Sunday 30 September. Arrive as the sun sets over Commonwealth Park and prepare to be dazzled by incredible light installations as the Pop Culture inspired flowerbeds light up before your eyes, enjoy roving performers, bustling night markets and a fantastic line up of entertainment every night.

Grab some dinner from the array of food offerings available and take a walk through the mesmerising Nautilus Forest created by internationally-renowned lighting specialists, Mandylights, with its spiraling trees that ripple and pulse with vibrant colour.
