The majority of the venues which hold events for the Brisbane Festival are located in the city centre or South Brisbane cultural precinct and there are numerous ways to get to these venues, either by train, bus or by driving your own car. As far as getting to the Riverfire light and fireworks display on the last day of the festival the best way to get to South Bank to see it is by public transport. You can either catch a bus and get off at any one of the stops surrounding the precinct or catch a train and get off at the South Brisbane or South Bank train stations and then walk the short distance to the banks of the Brisbane River. You can drive your own car into the area but be aware that there is limited parking and parking restrictions are enforced. |
