About the light-up calendar

Brisbane’s iconic buildings, bridges and sculptures come alive through vibrant light displays for special occasions, events and campaigns.

Discover the meaning behind the colours illuminating the city’s landmarks, including the Story Bridge, using the light-up calendar.

The calendar also shows scheduled light-ups and information about what is being celebrated or promoted.

Organisations light up Council assets to celebrate cultural festivals, bring awareness to campaigns and promote major events.

If you’re part of an eligible charity or organisation, you can apply to light up a bridge, building or sculpture.
