What’s On This Weekend in Brisbane: Sitchu’s Top Picks

The weather in Brisbane has resumed normal programming. In fact, it’s been gorgeous out there! Now that the sun is out and there’s a breeze in the air, it’s the perfect time to visit your favourite rooftop bar for a sunset drink.

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.

A Pink Moon Will Grace Brisbane’s Skies

In what promises to be a spectacular sight, a luminous pink moon will grace Brisbane’s evening skies on Saturday April 12th and Sunday April 13th.

The best time to view the moon is of course in the evening, but she’ll reach her fullest point at 10.22am on Sunday.

While the name does suggest the moon may take on a rosy tint, the moniker actually refers to the full moon of April, and is derived from the blooming of pink phlox wildflowers in North America during springtime.

If you missed last month’s blood moon, April’s lunar show promises to be just as unique, as it also happens to be a “micromoon”. The moon will be at its farthest point from Earth, making it appear sightly smaller when viewed from the ground.

Saturday 12th April to Sunday 13th April
