Floriade NightFest returns for four nights to take in the Labour Day long weekend from October 3 to 6 with new lighting displays and live entertainment to be announced in coming months.
Visitors to Commonwealth Park will see the park transform over the next four and a half months, remaining open until mid-August when it closes for final preparations.
World in Bloom is the theme of this year’s event. Visitors will see the theme reflected in flowerbeds and programming.
The premier event contributed to record domestic overnight visitor numbers of 2.75 million to the year ending December 2018, according to Tourism Research Australia’s latest data. The ACT is on track to reach its $2.5 billion Tourism 2020 target two years early.
