The whimsical wonder of the light infused Enchanted Garden returns to the Roma Street Parkland from 25 November to 21 December 2022 for a festive floral wonderland.
The Enchanted Garden is a sensational trail of shimmering lights carefully and artistically installed through the flowers and trees of one of Brisbane's premier public gardens - the Roma Street Parkland. The night time garden walkabout has become one of Brisbane's standout events in the lead up to Christmas.
Watch the kids faces be mesmerised by the sensory extravaganza of awe-inspiring sights, sweet smells and sounds of the garden for this magical, not to be missed, family-friendly experience.
This year, the design honours and has been influenced by the Eastern Water Dragon, an ancient, prehistoric appearing creature who lives happily in the parkland and can regularly be seen by visitors scampering to the water to sunbathe in the open. Without giving too much away, these reptilian wanderers will appear as giant holograms as the story of the gardens unfolds through these guardians of the gardens.
The four themes of the display are built around the water guardian, the rock guardian, the tree guardian and, the flower guardian.
The Enchanted Garden is part of Brisbane's Christmas program.
The night time garden operates through sessions to help manage the crowds and make sure everyone enjoys the experience at its best. Session times start from 6:30 pm and follow as:
6:30pm - 7:15pm7:15pm - 8:00pm8:00pm - 8:45pm8:45pm - 9:30pm
There will also be food trucks serving up a delicious, mouth-watering selection of meals, snacks and treats 4pm to 9.30pm daily at the Roma Street Parkland Celebration Lawn which are available to all visitors to the park.
