Lifestyle Thu Sep 4 2025 by Georgia Payne

Symbolically, the solstice marks the longest day of the year—a moment when the sun shows off and everything begins again. And so if you’ve been waiting for a reason to break out of winter hibernation, here it is: Solstice is returning to Commercial Bay, and it’s going to be a goodie.

Spanning four days of fashion, music, food and vibes, Commercial Bay’s Solstice signifies the moment we can officially start counting down to summer (hallelujah!). From 18–21 September, Commercial Bay will transform into a summer-soaked party. On Thursday and Friday night, the energy peaks with two runway shows, styled by fashion visionary Karen Inderbitzen-Waller and soundtracked by internationally renowned twin DJs Rain and China Katayanagi. Both shows are also free to enjoy, making this an easy addition to the calendar this season.

Expect live runway shows, DJs spinning tunes in the precinct, sumptuous in-store offers, dining packages and a chance to win a $5,000 spending spree—so if you don’t come for the party, at least come for the chance to get your entire summer wardrobe sorted.
