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, to the Frostbite Silly Swim at dawn on Saturday, followed by the Solstice Feast and the main celebration featuring live music, fire, food and fireworks. The weekend concludes with a free family day, offering a lighter, more playful atmosphere.
