Bastille Day at HSW

Overview

Bastille Day is upon us for another year, which means that partying like you're in France is well and truly on the agenda — even if you're still in Brisbane. One such place to head, albeit from Saturday, July 16–Sunday, July 17 rather than the actual occasion itself: CBD riverside precinct Howard Smith Wharves.

For two days, Brisbanites eager to kick back by the water, have a bite to eat, knock back a few drinks and celebrate all things French can hit up the spot's sprawling lawn. That's where you'll find plenty of food, wine and music to get you into the Parisian spirit, plus that firmly Brissie river view.

Sweet and savoury crêpes will be on the menu, as well as truffles and cheese — and mussels and frites as well. To drink, get ready to sip champagne, French martinis and oh-so-much vino.

Estampa and Gypsy Cats will provide the live tunes, alongside an array of roving artists.

Entry to the Bastille Day at HSW festivities is free, but you'll be paying for whatever you eat and drink.
