Wyndham Park will be alight with captivating colours when LIT festival returns to the municipality for ten evenings from March 17.

Council said the free light show will create unique landscapes to explore, with a laser show and rainbow sky canopy, interactive projections, a magical glowing nature trail and more.

Wyndham Mayor Susan McIntyre said the event would build on the success of last year’s event, which attracted more than 28,000 people.

“This year, the program is even bigger and better; capturing the same sense of joy and playfulness that makes LIT so special, but with a fresh new program of light installations and immersive experiences,” Cr McIntyre said.

“Whether you came last year, or you’re planning to see LIT for the first time, the experience will offer something new and delightful.”

Creative city portfolio holder Marcel Mahfoud encouraged residents to experience the wonder of LIT until its close on March 26.

“This year’s program will feature a high-energy laser show beamed every half hour and alternating with a rainbow sky canopy stretching over the lawn, light-drenched trees with sparkling mirror balls and Cortex – an illuminated inflatable mangrove forest,” Cr Mahfoud said.

“We’re also thrilled to be working with Wyndham artist, Rukz One to create Admix – trail of gobo projections to explore.”

Other activities will include The Great Escape, which features an 800metre trail of glowing night creatures as they emerge from a magical wardrobe, a pulsing light- filled lawn and Human Effect by Yandell Walton – a shifting, growing canvas with projections of native plants that respond to touch.

LIT will be open to residents from 8-11pm each night, entry via Wedge Street Piazza.
