Flamboyant costumes, the requisite love story, hilarious characters and a truly Aussie display of defiance against authority make this Australian film an absolute classic. Enjoy the feature film Strictly Ballroom.
This film experience is particularly unique as you sit surrounded by the Floriade twinkling fairy lights, floodlit flower beds and glowing lanterns.
Get funky with the Blamey St Big Band, a 20 piece ensemble, as they play infectious music in the tradition of the big, swing bands.
Get in the mood for a great night with a delicious drink at the NightFest Glowbar — which will be open for business all night long.
Get into the spirit of the night when you’re welcomed into Floriade NightFest by glamorous ‘entertainment reporters’, doing the ‘meet and greet’ on the red carpet.
The performance by Strange Fruit has to be seen to be believed! Do not miss this visual feast conducted four metres above the ground atop flexible metal poles. The choreographed performance features glowing spheres, extraordinary characters and projected sound and images which will take your breath away.
After the film, take a hilarious ride on the Floriade Feetbus — the human powered ‘I Love the Night Ride’ disco bus. Your drag queen crew will have you in stitches with their personalised tour of Floriade NightFest.
You won’t be able to drag the kids away from Squirt, an amazing water-activated sound installation. Armed with spray bottles, they’ll create a symphony of sound that has to be seen to be believed!
Don’t forget to check out the night markets before you leave, to pick up tasty treats, products that pamper, unique clothes, fantastic giftware, toys, gardening equipment, delightful jewellery and beautiful linen.
