Our pick of all the awesome things happening this weekend in Brisbane!
September is drawing to a close, but that doesn’t mean the events are slowing down anytime soon. Fresh new flavours are appearing on menus, and arts and culture events are unfolding around the city.
For weekend plans, hit your local market before making a bakery run to stock your fridge with top-notch produce from local farmers and food artisans.
Scroll on and let’s see what’s on in Brisbane this week.
Night Feast
Brisbane’s most exciting immersive foodie event has returned for another delicious year!
Night Feast will once again package live music, installations, roaming performers and incredible food into an immersive Spring Feast extravaganza. Amidst a program of free events and art, you’ll enjoy pop-up micro restaurants from Southside, Wonderbao, Gelato Messina, Lek’s Thai, Donna Change, and so many more.
The crowd favourite Sapporo Izakaya x Boom Boom Room will also make a comeback, pouring a selection of brews, including Sapporo Black, pairing perfectly with the Boom Boom Room’s lavish Japanese menu.
Head down to the Powerhouse to explore the installations and feast upon some of Brisbane’s best restaurant menus, reinvented in an enthralling new way.

Multiple Locations
Whispering Angel Rosé Garden at Customs House
Customs House knows how to throw a party! And by party, we mean an elegant riverside affair, with Whispering Angel rosé flowing, and table settings adorned with pretty pink roses.
This Spring wonderland pop-up bar is here for a limited time only, bringing you a classic, elegant riverside dining experience that Customs House does best. Sip on pink cocktails and flowing bottles of rosé as you nibble on fresh seafood dishes, most notably, the iconic Moreton Bay Bug croissant.
Book one of the domes for a chic, private dining experience – there are options for both large groups and small. This glamorous dining affair sells out every season, so be sure to make a reservation, don your best pink frock and head into Brisbane’s CBD for the prettiest spring experience.
Customs House, 399 Queen Street, Brisbane
