Spring in Brisbane is one of the best times of year to visit. The days are warm and sunny, the nights are mild, and the city comes alive with sport, festivals, and plenty of outdoor fun. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family, a group of friends, or with a sporting team, spring offers something for everyone — and Brisbane Holiday Village is the perfect base to enjoy it all.
Footy Finals Fever
Sport takes centre stage in Brisbane during spring:
- NRL Finals – Rugby league action heats up, with major games often hosted at Suncorp Stadium.
- AFL Finals – The Brisbane Lions bring the excitement to The Gabba as the season wraps up.
- Football (Soccer) Clinics – Local clubs and the Brisbane Roar run spring holiday programs for kids, making it a great time for sporting families.
For groups and teams travelling together, Brisbane Holiday Village offers spacious cabins and easy access to the city’s top sporting venues.
Brisbane Festival & Riverfire
Every September, Brisbane’s cultural calendar kicks off with the Brisbane Festival, a celebration of art, theatre, music, and dance. The festival’s showpiece is Riverfire, when the skies light up with one of Australia’s most spectacular fireworks displays. It’s an unmissable spring tradition for both locals and visitors.
Jacaranda Season in Full Bloom
Spring also means jacaranda season, when the city turns purple with blossom-filled trees. Some of the best places to see them are:
- New Farm Park – ideal for a picnic under the blooms.
- Kangaroo Point Cliffs – for sweeping city views framed with purple.
- The University of Queensland, St Lucia – famous for its jacaranda-lined avenues.
Bring your camera — these spots make for picture-perfect spring memories.
Food, Drink & Cultural Festivals
Spring also delivers a line-up of festivals to suit every taste:
- Oktoberfest Brisbane – Australia’s largest German festival, held every October with music, food, and Bavarian fun.
- Good Food & Wine Show – Showcasing celebrity chefs, wine tastings, and gourmet produce each October.
- Regional Flavours at South Bank – A foodie favourite, celebrating Queensland’s best local produce and cuisines.
Outdoor Adventures & Day Trips
With warm weather and low humidity, spring is perfect for outdoor exploring:
- South Bank Parklands – Swim at Streets Beach, ride the Wheel of Brisbane, or relax with riverside dining.
- Mt Coot-tha & Botanic Gardens – Hike to the lookout for panoramic city views or wander the lush gardens.
- Day Trips – Visit Tamborine Mountain for wineries, Lamington National Park for rainforest trails, or Moreton Bay for island adventures.
