Dates to be confirmed. The light festival typically runs across January. The 2027 dates, location and installations are confirmed by the Tourism Board nearer the time.
In short: Free light art and projections along the Central Harbourfront through January 2027 — an easy, photogenic winter evening out.
Through the cooler winter nights, the Central Harbourfront becomes an open-air gallery of interactive light installations, 3D projections and art set against the harbour skyline. It's free, family-friendly and made for an evening stroll.

What to expect
Large-scale light sculptures and projection shows you can walk among, often with interactive elements, all framed by the Victoria Harbour backdrop. The exact theme and line-up change each year.
Tips for visitors
Go after dark on a weeknight for fewer crowds and better photos, and combine it with the harbourfront promenade walk toward the Star Ferry.
