Seadeck is not one to miss out on the traditional celebrations of its temporary Queensland home, and what more Queenslander tradition is there than pulling on the cowboy boots and straightening the stetson when the Ekka comes to town?

But long lines that make legs ache, massive crowds that make the blood run cold and the horror stories of post-Ekka influenza cases, leave those reluctant crowds without much to do. Enter stage-left Seadeck! Brisbane’s biggest luxe party boat will be cruising the Brisbane River for both Ekka Eve and Ekka Day making sure no-one gets left out of the fun.

The team behind Seadeck’s Royal Show soirées haven’t skimped on the entertainment, flying in a star studded lineup for both days. Lucky ticket holders for Ekka Eve Twilight Cruise will be enjoying mind-blowing tunes from the darling of the Australian night-club scene, DJ Minx herself. For the public holiday revellers, a visit from a beloved local who returns to his hometown to headline for Seadeck’s Ekka Day Party, is none other than POOLCLVB aka Brisvegas legend Danny T!
