Weekends in May are about to get a whole lot more exciting with the arrival of Botanica Live Nights, the nocturnal offspring of Botanica – Contemporary Art Outside. Happening every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening throughout the festival, Botanica Live Nights will allow event-goers to spend more time exploring the artworks and discovering the beauty of the gardens – night-vision goggles not needed. To help you delve a little deeper, there will be guided after-dark tours of the exhibition, and even the opportunity to meet some of the Botanica artists who will share more about their inspirations and practice.

The fun doesn’t stop there – these jam-packed nights will see DJs providing a bangin’ soundtrack, food trucks slinging salivation-inducing eats and a pop-up bar so you can get your cocktail fix (it would be rude to not cheers to the weekend, after all).

Keen to put these fun-filled activities in your diary? Visit the Brisbane City Council website for further information on this starlit showcase.
