Roma Street Parklands

Roma Street, Brisbane

Fancy seeing one of Brisbane's most popular spaces in a completely new light? Or, to be more accurate, with different lights flickering over the top of its lush greenery? As every home renovation-focused TV show has told us time and time again, a splash of colour can make a world of difference — and, at Roma Street Parklands' Enchanted Garden, it can turn an already picturesque space into a bright, festive wonderland.

While this is a family-friendly affair running until December 17 as part of the city's Christmas fun, don't go expecting the kind of setup that you've been ignoring on every street corner in Brissie's suburbs. Lights will twinkle, decorations will sparkle and music will play; however, this isn't a tacky DIY display. Nope, not at all.

That said, a word of warning: people love glittering lights, to prepare for crowds. The brightness will dazzle from 6.30pm until 9.30pm, and, if you're organised enough, you can always pack a picnic, arrive early and enjoy dinner — and BYO drinks in one of the few public places that allows them in our fair town — beforehand.
