The Best Easter Activities in Brisbane 2025
Easter is just around the corner, and there’s no better place to celebrate than in beautiful Brisbane. With the forecast of 100% sunshine, it’s the perfect time to explore the city and make some memories with friends and family.
Easter cocktails at Fiume Rooftop Bar
Kick off your Easter celebrations with a festive cocktail (or two) at Fiume Rooftop Bar , perched above the Howard Smith Wharves. Our mixologists have shaken up a lineup of colourful, creative drinks to get you in the holiday spirit. Try the Bad Bunny, a bold blend of cinnamon and clove-infused rum, Campari, Crème De Cacao, and Amaretto, or the Insta-Worthy Marshmallow Clover Club that tastes just as good as it looks. All this, with a side of sweeping city skyline views? Consider your Easter plans sorted.
Easter fun at Felons
Hop down to the Howard Smith Wharves this Easter for family fun, live sports, and craft brews by the river. From 5–20 April 2025, Felons Brewing Co. will be hosting a range of activities from Easter egg hunts and outdoor film screenings to live AFL & NRL games on the big screen.
Little ones can enjoy face painting, balloon twisting, and reptile shows (19 & 20 April), while chocoholics can join the Easter egg hunt on the Felons Chipper Lawn. Catch a free screening of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on 15 April at Felons Barrel Hall, and explore 70+ stalls at the Great Artist Market (5 April).
