Seeing out Summer in Style – What’s on in the West
Summer ain’t over quite yet! The City of Wyndham is seeing the season out in style, with a fantastic array of activities and entertainment including the return of some local favourites as well as exciting new events throughout the City. With music, movies, markets, alfresco dining and more there’s heaps for the whole family to enjoy!
LIT
When: 25 February – 6 March, 8pm – 11pm
Where: Wyndham Park
See Wyndham Park transformed in a whole new light – see it LIT! This free, immersive experience will see Wyndham Park in Werribee City Centre transformed into a glowing wonderland. Visitors will be able to walk beneath trees drenched in colour and marvel at amazing illuminated works that celebrate the natural beauty of this parkland setting.
On the main lawn, expect to see huge sculptures (some up to 5.5 metres tall) of Poodles, Bull Terriers and Dachshunds lit up at the Lost Dogs’ Disco. And over on the West Lawn, attendees will get to explore the world of Lantasia by The Lanternist – a glowing trail of animal sculptures with giant ants, possums and a stunning spider weaving its orb amongst the tree branches.
LIT will be open from 8pm to 11pm each night, with the main entrance from Wedge Street Piazza off Watton Street. You won’t want to miss this out of this world experience!
