Brisbane Quarter Christmas Pop-Up 2021

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 reindeer, stars, candy canes, Christmas trees 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 between Tuesday, December 14–Thursday, December 16. That's when the Brisbane Quarter Christmas Pop-up will also feature Christmas carols.

And if all this festive spirit is making you peckish, the precinct's bars and restaurants are doing Christmas menus.
