Mystery of the spotlights solved!

Callum from Hutt City Council

Have you been wondering what those lights in the sky the past few nights have been about? It's not Batman (sorry to disappoint) but it is something very exciting.

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.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler
