The immersive Hume Winter Lights Festival is back for a second big year offering locals and visitors a chance to dance away the winter chill on Saturday, June 17.
The inaugural 2022 event saw people turn out to the Broadmeadows Town Hall precinct in their thousands to indulge in free entertainment from the Presets and Sneaky Sound System, while being wowed by art installations and light projections onto Hume’s iconic precinct buildings.
This year promises more of the same with internationally renowned electronic acts The Potbelleez (DJ Set), DJ Havana Brown and much more. The festival will feature nine art projections by renowned Australian and Hume local visual artists, community groups and students, and include an interactive play-centred exhibition for big and little kids by artist Beci Orpin.
This year’s event program has been expanded to feature many family-friendly activities including an all-new ice-skating rink that’s sure to be a festival highlight. As the night sets in, attendees can warm up with some mulled wine and enjoy local food with friends under the night sky while waiting for it to come to life in the thrilling festival fireworks finale.
The festival’s return is supported with $150,000 in funding from the state government as part of the Broadmeadows Suburban Revitalisation program.
