IT'S TWO WEEKS UNTIL OUR OPENING NIGHT

There are less than 50 tickets left for our 18th Opening Night Red Carpet Gala. Palace capacity is limited but this is going to be a special night - celebrating all that we love about the free spirit of the region! We've created an after-party that echoes the ethos of that transformative era. This celebratory event will feature live DJs remixing classic tracks, psychedelic visuals, and an Aquarius dress code, embodying the cultural and social revolutions sparked during the original festival.

A lot has changed in the last 50 years but this is a night to release your free spirit and celebrate what we love about our region. 
 

Tune in, Turn on and Rise up!

We've been to Lismore, Murwillumbah, Ballina, Brunswick Heads, Lennox Head and, of course, Byron Bay - but for the first time in our 18 + years we are headed to Nimbin! As we present the Nimbin Premiere of Aquarius, this very special screening will include a panel with some key Aquarians connected to the film. Like our Opening Night Gala, this will sell out.    BOOK NOW Explore the highlights of BBFF2024: Browse all major films and events on our What's On Where Page!
