Skyfire began as a smallish event in 1989. Over 30 years, it grew to an afternoon and evening spectacular including live performances, food trucks, and activities. The event is set around and above Lake Burley Griffin and viewed by at least one third of the ACT population.
This year, Canberrans can look forward to:
- Two entertainment hubs featuring live broadcasts
- Speakers for those who forget to bring radios
- Big screens to watch the action from the lake unfold
The dazzling aerial display will begin with a RAAF Fast Jet Handling Display by an F35 Lightning Fighter Jet. Afterwards, a synchronized soundtrack show will include:
- 40,000 pyrotechnic effects
The show will begin at 8:30 pm and run for 20 minutes.
120,000 people are expected to attend Skyfire in 2025.
