The Enchanted Garden

Brisbane’s spectacular The Enchanted Garden is back at Roma Street Parkland this Christmas, opening for an extended 28 nights from November 25 to December 21, 2022.

For 4 weeks Roma Street Parkland will morph into a breath-taking enchanted garden by night with the help of 22,000 square metres of custom-made lighting, audio, special effects, light sculptures, high-powered lasers and new-developed interactive projections and hologram technology to deliver a world-class digital art experience in the heart of Brisbane.

The much anticipated light show will see laser water sheets, holograms and fibreoptic cascades combine to tell a captivating tale celebrating the Eastern Water Dragons of Roma Street Parkland.

This year’s theme will astonish and amaze with the four key elements of the parkland: water, trees, rocks and flowers, delightfully represented in lights and magic.

Five awe-inspiring sections will feature an ode to the blue watery elements of the park, a textural, earthy section celebrating the rock formations, magnificent, sweeping video projections along the weeping fig tree avenue, a breath-taking section of floral art in colourful pink and red lights culminating in a moving shadow sculpture.

The family and planet-friendly LED lighting installation guides visitors on a 30 minute self-guided tour through a carefully constructed environmental narrative that centres on celebrating nature, a sense of connection and play, discovery and storytelling.

The event opens at 6:30pm, with the last session at 9pm and bookings are essential. Session times are every 15 minutes with kid’s sessions at 6:30pm, 6:45pm, 7pm, 7:15pm; Standard Sessions 7:30pm, 7:45pm, 8pm, 8:15pm; Up Late Sessions 8:30pm, 8:45pm, 9pm and Low Sensory times varied (see website for details).
