We're announcing a brand new annual event for Lower Hutt, HighLight: Carnival of Lights!
Coming this Labour Weekend in October, HighLight will transform Riddiford Garden in central Lower Hutt into a wonderland of brilliant light installations and live performances. Over four days visitors to the light carnival can enjoy walking through the gardens and immersing themselves in the various displays, live entertainment and interactive features. The event will be open to all ages and will be FREE to attend.
Installations currently being planned for the carnival include a giant lightbulb suspended in mid-air, with an illuminated performer putting on a display inside. Kids will glow in the dark in a UV-light kid’s area, including special dipping paint that will turn their hands into a kaleidoscope of colours. Each night eyes will turn skyward for a fireworks display. These are just the start, with many more exciting projects to be announced in the months ahead.
HighLight, and another multi-day event in 2018, will be replacing Petone Winter Carnival.
