Back with bite, your favourite culinary festival is returning to Brisbane Powerhouse this spring to dish up bold flavours, jaw-dropping art and good times under the stars.
Night Feast is set to transform the riverside precinct into an immersive playground for the senses, playing host to 20 renowned dining establishments in a mix of old favourites and exciting new names. Kicking off on 15 October to 9 November, you can expect crowd favourites like Southside, LouisB, Wonderbao, Gelato Messina, and Donna Chang coming back for the fourth season of Night Feast. Newcomers joining the flavour-packed lineup include South Bank’s Italian gem OTTO Brisbane, Shane Delia’s new stunner Layla, and the world-famous Lune—baking their pastry-pushing croissants after dark for the very first time.
This isn’t your average market run, with each restaurant creating a Night Feast exclusive dish for one time only. We’re talking deep fried lasagne bites from OTTO, Filipino-style roast beef by Hoy Pinoy, and a limited-edition lamington croissant cube from Lune. Thirsty? The Sapporo Izakaya x Boom Boom Room pop-up will also make its return, pouring brews expertly paired with Japanese bites. “Night Feast showcases the very best from our culinary artists,” said Night Feast Food Curator, Lizzie Loel. “Every menu has been designed with passion and precision, and these festival-exclusive dishes make this year’s edition truly unforgettable.”

The experience is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate, with a whole lot of free art and music taking over Brisbane Powerhouse and its surroundings. Running alongside Melt Festival, returning artist Leeroy New will unveil a fantastical exploration of the spirits that lie beneath the seas, Brisbane-based Micah Rustichelli will present a large-scale exhibition reimagining 1,000 images originally posted to Instagram, and acclaimed multidisciplinary artists Luke George and Daniel Kok will take performance art to the next level—using rope to bind bodies and the objects around them.
Beats by QUIVR DJs will keep the energy high all night long, and American Express Card Members can once again kick back in the exclusive American Express Garden Lounge away from the crowds.
Over 125,000 people attended the inaugural Night Feast, and if you were there, you'll know that there is limited parking, so getting there by bus, ferry or even scooter is your best option. We also recommend visiting early on a weeknight if you can, when the crowds and queues will be at least a little smaller. As always, entry to Night Feast is free so you can spend your dollars eating and drinking your way through flavours you simply can’t get anywhere else.
