Where to find the best Christmas lights in Brisbane
Guide
By Katie Stow
Christmas in Queensland is pretty unique. As the Brisbane nights get balmier, they get a little more magical as a merry sparkle spreads across the city. Nothing feels more festive than a totally extravagant display of Christmas lights (when more is definitely the merrier!). Luckily, each year there are plenty of over-the-top twinkling displays to spread the holiday cheer for us all.
It’s time to grab your friends and family, crank up the Michael Buble and head out on a DIY fairy-light-filled odyssey. Whether you want to explore the annual favourites that pepper the centre of town or travel out to some of Brisbane’s suburban displays, here’s where to look for the best Christmas lights Brisbane has to offer.
