Outdoor Entertainment Precinct
Outdoor Entertainment Precinct

There’s plenty of free entertainment within the Parliamentary Triangle. Bordered by the five buildings lit with stunning architectural projections, the Entertainment Precinct will come alive each night during ENLIGHTEN with free entertainment between 6.30pm and 11.30pm.

Much of the action this weekend takes place in the West Zone, between the National Library of Australia and Questacon – the National Science and Technology Centre. See live acts on the West Side Stage and grab a bite to eat and drink before heading into nearby attractions to see an intriguing array of performances and quirky activities such as Erth Garden, Silent Disco and Tawdry Heartburn’s Manic Cures. You can catch Pollock Pong in a tent behind the National Portrait Gallery.
