Overview

In case you've somehow missed the fact that it's nearly Christmas, the Brisbane Quarter precinct is reminding everyone in a big way. And in a twinkling way, too, covering 175 square metres of the CBD site with more than 8000 glowing lights.

If bright bulbs make you feel merry, then head to the corner of Adelaide and George Streets, look up, and prepare to be wowed by digitally controlled, low-voltage LED pebble lights. Even better — they're being programmed to flash in various colours and patterns (think ribbons, stars, bells and other jolly configurations).

The luminous sight is currently on display, adding some extra Xmas cheer to its patch of the inner-city; however you might want to stop by from 6–7pm any weekday between Monday, December 16 and Friday, December 20. That's when the Brisbane Quarter Christmas Pop-up will also feature Christmas carols and free gelato. To nab your scoop, make sure you're one of the first 100 people there.
