Canberrans are encouraged to take advantage of free travel on all Transport Canberra buses and light rail as they head to Lake Burley Griffin for the Skyfire event this Saturday. Over 120,000 people are expected to attend the fireworks spectacular, which is returning for another year after its 2024 revival following the COVID-19 hiatus.
The festivities will begin in the afternoon, with live performances, food trucks, and activities taking place around Lake Burley Griffin. The event will culminate with a 20-minute fireworks display at 8:30 p.m.
Judith Sturman, Executive Group Manager of Transport Canberra, emphasized the importance of rethinking travel plans and utilizing free public transport for those attending Skyfire 2025.
