Ekka is the big ticket this weekend at the Brisbane Showgrounds — think rides, live music, wood‑chopping and those famous strawberry sundaes. The arena show and fireworks light up after dark, so plan the trip and leave a little extra time around Bowen Hills.
If you are taking the family in, the new exhibition station makes it an easy hop on and off. Stroll the pavilions, catch the main arena and then settle in for the night show. Make sure you stream Local Sounds Brisbane for the Greatest Hits plus Local Artists every hour.
