Lightscape 2024 will feature new highlights like the immersive Submergence, where visitors can wander through thousands of suspended lights, each shifting and changing colour in response to their movements.

Among the anticipated attractions is Lili, making its Australian debut from the French artistic studio TILT. This series of illuminated, abstract flowers, standing at three meters tall, promises to captivate both young and old alike.

LIGHTSCAPE will also bring back beloved favourites such as the Winter Cathedral and the popular Laser Garden at Fern Gully. Meanwhile, the welcome zone will offer delightful food and treats to enjoy along the illuminated trail.

LIGHTSCAPE has been a resounding success since its debut in the UK over a decade ago, attracting millions of visitors worldwide. Its introduction to Melbourne in 2022 quickly became a highlight of the city’s winter cultural calendar.

Join in the magic of LIGHTSCAPE and create memories with loved ones as you celebrate winter in Melbourne in a truly enchanting way.
