Floriade NightFest tickets – now on sale

It’s one of the most popular events during Floriade. The annual moonlit extravaganza, NightFest, will return to Commonwealth Park for five nights from Wednesday 25 September until Sunday 29 September.

Whether you would prefer to spend your evening wandering through the night markets, taking in the stellar light shows or chilling out with a cocktail while listening to some smooth tunes, Floriade’s ticketed twilight event has something for you.

Palace Electric, the newest and most dynamic of Canberra’s major cinemas is ready to go again. With audiences still discussing the recent Spanish and Russian film festivals, it’s time for the Israeli juggernaut to roll in to town. While this is the first time the Festival will visit Canberra, it is in fact the 10th anniversary of the event in Australia.

Think you know your stuff?

Gryphons think you do, and are once again inviting wine experts, amateurs and self-confessed quaffers to pop along to see how their tastebuds rate.

Come Thursday 14 August, the Challenge is simple. Taste (and not necessarily consume!) 30 shiraz wines that have been placed on the long-list for a place on Gryphons’ next wine list. As the evening progresses the votes will be tallied and, at the end of the night, the people (that’s you!) will have decided which wines are destined for glory, and which are down the drain.

Wow! Well, after another cliff-hanger last week, The Brumbies have made it through to yet another Super 15 Final. This week, all we need is one point to bring the cup home, and this will be Canberra’s most watched rugby game of the year!

With kick-off at 5.40pm Canberra time, this is the perfect opportunity together with friends and cheer on as The Brumbies take on the Chiefs in Hamilton. Pop in to any one of the venues below to watch the game, and hang around for a celebratory dinner!
