Twenty years of deafening military fly-overs, pumping music, spring night skies being transformed into colourful canvases will be celebrated on Saturday night.

This weekend marks the 20th Sunsuper Riverfire. To commemorate the milestone there will be about 20 minutes of fireworks, a mix of retro music from 1998 to today and a new military jet will make its Riverfire debut.

Sunsuper Riverfire celebrates its 20th anniversary on Saturday.

Riverfire is Brisbane and Queensland’s largest annual public celebration and the fourth-largest annual fireworks show in Australia. This year there will be 11 tonnes of fireworks, which will be fired from six barges, two pontoons, high-rise buildings and the Story Bridge.

It all kicks off at 7pm and will be held at the South Bank Cultural Forecourt, but there are several viewing areas around the city to watch the display.
