QBE Riverfire fireworks

QBE Riverfire returns to the skies over Brisbane as the city unites to welcome Riverfestival 2008!

Featuring Brisbane’s biggest and most spectacular fireworks display, QBE Riverfire transforms our city into a massive celebration, as hundreds of thousands of people pack the banks of the Brisbane River and come together in backyards across the suburbs.

Eyes are riveted to the sky, while feet are tapping on the ground during the stunning choreographed fireworks display, set to the pumping QBE Riverfire 2008 soundtrack from Triple M 104.5FM and all captured live on Channel Seven’s special broadcast from 6.30pm. And then, the ultimate crowd pleaser as the RAAF F1-11* strike jets sweep low over the city before performing their ‘dump and burn’. (probably THE coolest thing Ive ever seen in my LIFE!!!)



The QBE Riverfire party sparks into action well before dark, with plenty to see for people arriving early to claim the best vantage points. The Australian Defence Force flies the flag high with a fantastic Open Day program at South Bank, including military aircraft, showcase drills and live music, before taking to the skies from 5pm with a dazzling display by the gravity-defying Roulettes*.

QBE Riverfire will proceed in wet weather and will only be cancelled in extreme conditions. For wet weather updates listen to Triple M 104.5FM.

Road closures will apply during this event.

*Availability of the Roulettes, F111s and ADF displays subject to operational requirements.
