Because every big event needs an alternative, Riverlife has come up with the thing to go to when you're not going to the Ekka. Their Winterfest is a riverside chillout session at Kangaroo Point, where relaxing in the sun is the main affair.
Even though it isn't really winter in Brissie, every ticket includes a tasty warm meal and a hot chocolate rum, i.e. the perfect food and drink for the season. Bratwurst, waffles, mulled wine and hot apple cider are also on the menu, as is entertainment from DJ Cliftonia and Sharif on the sax. Plus, $2 from every ticket sold will go towards the fight for marriage equality.
