Lighting up Wyndham

Wyndham’s light-based experience LIT has attracted more than 60,000 people through the gates, as part of the second running of the event.

Running from Friday, March 17 to Sunday, March 26, Werribee’s Wyndham Park event featured a high-energy laser show, a rainbow sky canopy, light-drenched trees, a pulsing light lawn, interactive projections, a nature trail and a variety of interactive installations.

Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre said the event had displayed a sense of pride within residents of Wyndham.

“In its second year, we’ve seen attendance more than double and just as importantly we’ve also received terrific feedback from residents and visitors about the experience,” she said.

“It’s been wonderful to see so many people enjoying LIT, telling their friends and family and sharing their experience online.”

Cr McIntyre said the festival was designed to support the city’s hospitality sector and night life.

“The streets have been buzzing,” she said.

“It’s been great to see thousands of people making a night of it with dinner at our local restaurants, takeaways, pubs and bars.”
