Sound, lights and wintry delights.
By day Sovereign Hill delights with ‘snow’ falling in the streets and much-loved theatre, food and activities.
Then, as the sun goes down it really shines, with changing light projections bringing the famous streetscape to life in a spectacular display of colour and movement.
There’s lots of light shows on during winter, but absolutely nothing compares to Winter Wonderlights. We’ve been doing it since 2013.
Embrace the cold, bring your loved ones and soak up the Sovereign Hill atmosphere under lights.
A short drive a lifetime away.
