Brisbane Riverfire Cruises

Riverfire 2024, which takes place on Saturday 31 August, will ignite the much-awaited opening weekend of the Brisbane Festival – a fairly new, yet world-class event, on the Australian cultural calendar. 

One of the festival's main highlights loved by locals and visitors alike is watching the fireworks from one of the Brisbane Riverfire cruises. We’ve rounded up the best Riverfire boat cruises that include a choice of all-inclusive premium experiences to lighter-on-the-wallet spectator cruises.

These cruises on the Brisbane River put you in the perfect position to view the fireworks extravaganza, launched from bridges, barges and highrises. Some cruises also offer incredible views of the synchronised air displays by the Australian Defence!

Since this is a one-night spectacular, the Riverfire cruises sell out fast. So, plan ahead and book your seats in advance and get ready to experience Riverfire like never before!
