Festival of Lights Returns to Perth!
Mark your calendars — Friday, December 5 is shaping up to be one of the most magical nights of the season! Join us at the Tay Basin Parking Lot for music, lights, and holiday cheer as we kick off this year’s Festival of Lights, presented by @Perth Tourism.
Here’s what’s happening:
5:30 p.m. — Cozy up for a performance by Rubies in the Rough and enjoy pay-what-you-can treats from The Table Community Food Centre (donations appreciated!). 6:15 p.m. — Look to the sky! The drone show returns this year with another stunning display. Watch from the Tay Basin Parking Lot, facing west. 6:25–8 p.m. — After the show, wander into the Crystal Palace to admire more than 25 beautifully decorated Community Christmas Trees, glowing for the season.The trees will continue to shine nightly until January 2 — so be sure to stop by throughout the holidays.
Bundle up, bring your festive spirit, and celebrate the season with us!
