Artist duo Craig & Karl will light up Brisbane’s bridges with bright\, bold installations that reflect the colour and creativity of the festival spirit. \nSkylore: Nieergoo – Spirit of the Whale also returns\, bringing hundreds of drones to the sky above the Brisbane River. Created by Traditional Owner Shannon Ruska with Tribal Experiences\, and set to original music by Guy Webster\, this spectacular piece shares a story of Culture\, Country\, and connection to place. \nFamilies and thrill-seekers alike will be drawn to Elements of Freestyle\, a heart-pounding blend of breakdance\, inline skating\, BMX\, skateboarding\, freerunning and more. Created by the Netherlands’ ISH Dance Collective and directed by Marco Gerris\, this adrenaline-fuelled show transforms extreme urban sports into art. \nAs twilight falls\, Afterglow transforms the City Botanic Gardens into a glowing dreamscape of fire sculptures\, illuminated installations and ambient soundscapes. Visitors are invited to follow a trail of flickering flame through an immersive\, multisensory experience designed to spark wonder and reflection. \nCraig & Karl’s work continues across the city in Walk This Way\, with the Neville Bonner\, Goodwill and Kangaroo Point bridges reimagined through their playful\, colourful designs and inflatables. As internationally recognised creatives\, their work invites audiences to see familiar places in bold\, joyful new ways. \nAt Queensland Museum Kurilpa\, families can explore Sea of Light\, where a torch becomes a paintbrush to create glowing trails across a magical sea floor. This interactive installation features projections by Aboriginal Contemporary Visual Artist Elizabeth Close and is part of the Museum’s spring holiday program. \nIn Festival Garden\, the Lord Mayor’s Children’s Program presents TheatreDome\, a high-energy improv comedy competition where young performers take to the stage under the watchful eye of the Great Overseer.
