South Bank’s Giant Elves

South Bank’s Giant Elves

South Bank’s Giant Elves return for the festive season, bringing a touch of North Pole magic to Brisbane. Ten oversized elves have arrived in the parklands, swapping snow for sunshine and spreading Christmas cheer as they await their journey back to Santa’s workshop.

Visitors can enjoy a self-guided adventure to find each elf across the precinct. Sandy appears at Streets Beach, Barbie on the Northern Little Stanley Street Lawns, Pixie on the Southern Little Stanley Street Lawns, Lizzy at Flowstate, Lillie at Picnic Island Green, Whitney at River Quay, Lorri near Rainforest Green, Jingle at Liana Lounge, Bravo at the QPAC Balcony and Sunny at the Brisbane Sign.

Each elf has its own unique moment to share, inviting families to explore the full trail and experience the magic of a Brisbane summer Christmas.
