As darkness falls, a range of impressive large-scale lanterns created by The Lanternist will illuminate the beautiful gardens and welcome visitors for a nocturnal experience throughout the grounds.

The gardens will be transformed with over 45 glowing art installations highlighting a range of Australian animals, including a frog, possum, goanna, platypus, echidna and butterflies.

Throughout the night engaging performers will delight crowds with fire, bubbles, UV lighting, glowing body paint, spinning LED Hula Hoops and outrageous roving Mirror-Ball suits.

On opening night, the eight-piece band: JAZZ PARTY will warm up the crowds with RnB inspired tunes and the powerhouse circus and dance showcase: Fresh! by Fresh Creative Entertainment will blow peoples socks off during the closing night festivities. Free event. More info here.
