Sprawling along the CBD stretch of the Brisbane river, the Eagle Street Pier precinct boasts plenty of reasons to drop by. You can head along for a bite to eat — including at newcomer Naga Thai — or to grab a drink or soak in the view. Obviously, you can also enjoy any combination of the above.

Until the end of January, it's throwing in a few more reasons, all as part of an event called Celebrate Summer. Yes, you now know why it's all happening. Warm weather might be a year-round thing in Brissie, but it's still worth marking this sunniest part of the year. So, Eagle Street Pier is doing so with tunes, installations, games and more.

The space is currently now home to a pop-up porch with a custom-built swing and play space, as well as interactive floor games. Then, once evening hits, neon lights take over the place — giving it quite the vivid hue.

From Wednesday–Sunday each week, live tunes are on offer, too — and on Saturdays from 6.30pm, DJs will be on the decks and fire twirlers will be doing their thing.
