Riverfire
Riverfire, which began in 1998, was a festival held in September each year at South Bank Parklands and surrounding areas (including the Victoria Bridge), to celebrate the Brisbane River. In 2009, the festival merged with Brisbane Festival. Riverfire was previously held at the end of the Brisbane Festival until 2022 when it was changed to be held as the festival opener. The event involves an afternoon RAAF aerial display utilising aircraft such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet preceding the main event, a fireworks display extending the length of the Brisbane River from South Bank Parklands to the Story Bridge.
