Step into a winter wonderland at this year’s Light Up Winter.

Announcing an exciting new location, a cascade of lights transforms The Anderson Park Rose Garden into a realm of enchantment and wonder.

Be mesmerized by illuminating fairies and street performers, revel in the joyous atmosphere with live music and captivating performances. Wander through the night food market brimming with a diverse range of delicious flavours to appease every palate.

Take in the creative spirit of the Light Up Your Hat competition, as the evening culminates with the ever magical mass lantern release.
