Over the month of June, artists, designers and community members will transform the main courtyard of Federation Square, into an outdoor art gallery. Join the Solstice Celebration on Saturday 23rd June, from 5pm, where over twenty groups will join together for a free program of music, performance, food, and prose. On this night, partake in the glow of 1000 handmade lanterns to enlighten and warm your mind and soul.

2. Every Friday night in July, visit Docklands Waterfront to see a colourful 10 minute fireworks display, accompanied by music, beginning at 7pm. A fun event for old and young with best viewing points along Waterfront City Promenade. Head to dinner afterwards at one of the many delightful restaurants.
