Brisbane Winter Festival
Come celebrate the official arrival of winter in Brisbane. It'll melt your heart.
Overview
For those who haven't managed to taste hail despite Brisbane's freak weather transitioning can come and skate on the ice rather than have it pelted towards you from the sky. Safer and far more family-friendly, Brisbane locals are all welcome to experience one of the country's largest outdoor ice skating rinks and plenty of frosty pleasures at the 2011 Brisbane Winter Festival.
I'm not exaggerating about the ice rink. This baby measures a very decent size of 900m². Perfect to bring your family, friends, even your dog!
There will be dishes from over 20 winter-prone countries to sample, and plenty of ice skating action to watch. From amateur to pro shows and some Ice Blitz Championships. Come and watch some winter talents tear up the ice. You'll have plenty of time to hone on your skills and shine your shoe blades as the Winter Fest will be around for a good three weeks.
Feeling too cool for any of the outdoor activities? Don't stress. Warm up to some traditional Glühwein (authentic mulled wine) or enjoy some steaming chai in the Lipton Chai Latte Lodge.
So come celebrate the official arrival of winter in Brisbane. It'll melt your heart.
