The cool, dark, edge of winter is coming!
This year, Nightide explores Creatures of the Deep — a theme inspired by the ocean’s mystery, myth and hidden darkness. Set against the winter solstice, Queenscliff transforms into a world of firelight, shadow and spectacle, where the longest night draws these forces briefly to the surface.
Across three days, Nightide delivers a series of unique experiences — from a bold fringe event on Friday, followed by the Solstice Feast and the main celebration featuring live music, fire, food and fireworks on Saturday night. The weekend concludes on Sunday with a free family day, offering a lighter, more playful atmosphere.
