Brisbane’s popular Night Feast will return this spring, once again transforming the Powerhouse precinct into a lively showcase of food, art and music. Running from 15 October to 9 November 2025, the festival is presented by American Express and promises a packed program of culinary creations, large-scale art installations and late-night performances.
Now in its fourth season, Night Feast has become known for pairing dishes from leading restaurants with immersive art. The 2025 line-up features twenty dining establishments, with returning favourites such as Southside, LouisB, Wonderbao, Gelato Messina, La Mano, Bugster’s, Hoy Pinoy, Byblos, Donna Chang, Calida and Lek’s Thai, which this year launches its Siam Smashhouse concept. Sapporo Izakaya x Boom Boom Room will also be back, serving brews including Sapporo Black alongside a curated Japanese menu.
Newcomers to the festival include Southbank’s OTTO Brisbane, OLÉ with its Latin flavours, Hawthorne’s Downtown Istanbul, Layla from West End, and Melbourne’s Burn City Smokers. Internationally renowned Lune will bake its croissants after dark for the first time, adding a late-night indulgence to the line-up.
Each restaurant will prepare a Night Feast exclusive dish available only during the event. Highlights include OTTO Brisbane’s deep fried lasagne bites, Hoy Pinoy’s Lechon Baka, and Lune’s Lamington Croissant Cube. “Night Feast showcases the very best from our culinary artists. Every menu has been designed with passion and precision, and these festival-exclusive dishes make this year’s edition truly unforgettable,” said Food Curator Lizzie Loel.
Beyond food, the festival promises a program of art and performance to match. Filipino artist Leeroy New will unveil Tubignon, constructed from recycled materials, exploring the spirits of the sea. Brisbane’s Micah Rustichelli will present Demon Rhythm, reimagining thousands of Instagram images into a hypnotic installation. Artists Luke George and Daniel Kok bring Still Lives: Brisbane, a performance-installation using rope to bind bodies and cultural objects in striking configurations.
The experience is rounded out with live DJ sets from QUIVR, keeping crowds moving from sunset until late. For those looking for a quieter spot, the American Express Garden Lounge will return as an exclusive retreat for card members.
“As presenting partner of Night Feast, we’re thrilled to be celebrating Brisbane’s extraordinary dining, arts and music culture at this incredibly unique event,” said Naysla Edwards, Vice President of Marketing and Member Experience at American Express. “We look forward to welcoming American Express Card Members and their guests to the American Express Garden Lounge to enjoy celebrating the festivities in style.”
With bold dishes, ambitious art and late-night music, Night Feast 2025 looks set to draw crowds from across the city and beyond.
