The Fire Horse Ignites @ The Star Brisbane

17 February - 22 February
The Fire Horse Ignites @ The Star Brisbane

The Fire Horse Ignites @ The Star Brisbane

Experience The Fire Horse Ignites, a powerful nightly hero show on the Leisure Deck. Each evening, a sonic fire ceremony builds toward the dramatic lighting of a five-metre tall steel horse sculpture, surrounded by glowing lanterns and soaring jets of flame.
A three-minute symphonic score blends orchestral power with Chinese and pan-Asian instruments, galloping rhythms, and celebratory drums. Lion Dancers, escorted by energetic drummers, move through the crowd as music and fire collide in spectacular crescendos.
Also enjoy an array of Asian-fusion bites, refreshing beverages from the bar and relaxed open-air seating under the summer stars.
On Opening Night (Tuesday 17 February), fireworks will transform the night into a living canvas of energy, strength, and renewal. This is one experience you do not want to miss.
