We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate accessibility requirements advised before the event. If we are unable to meet a specific request, we will work with attendees to identify suitable alternatives wherever possible.

A variety of food and beverage options will be available at NightFest. More information will be announced closer to the event.

NightFest is held at Floriade in Commonwealth Park, Canberra. For information on public transport, parking, walking and cycling routes, visit the Getting to Floriade page here.

Yes, you can! However, we do ask that patrons respect others around them by placing chairs to the back or sides of grassed viewing areas so they do not obstruct the view of others who may be sitting on picnic blankets at ground level. Please also be aware that the NightFest program offers multiple performances and entertainment on stages around the park, rather than a central stage.

No, sorry, there are no pass outs for NightFest. If there are any exceptional circumstances they will be managed on a case by case basis.
