Ensure a comfy set-up
You've got a home theatre? Then that’s the perfect location to view the fireworks on your big screen. Make sure all the tech is working well before-hand so no-one is going to be disappointed, and turn up the surround sound! Why not get into your pj’s early and snuggle in for a night of comfort with your favourite comfort food.
Set up outside for a true Brisbane experience
If you have access to a projector, why not create an uber-cool outdoor fireworks viewing experience in your own backyard? There’s lot of great advice online on how to set this up and it’s actually pretty easy. Invite some friends over, stoke up the fire pit and BOOM, you’re assured a great night together!
Enjoy the Ekka fireworks spectacular!
