Join us as we "light up" Golden Bay and bring the community together in celebration, on 5 July 2024 (with wet weather contingency days of 6th/7th July)! As we embrace the darkest time of the year, the Community Light Festival aims to transform Golden Bay into a beacon of unity, connection, and communal celebration.
The Junction Green will be packed with stages, light and art installations, live music, and outdoor dance and fire performances.
We will kick things off at 3.30pm with facepainting, bubbles and clowning for the kids, followed by an opening ceremony at 4pm.
Then the live stage opens with a line-up of local bands, musicians, and performance artists - such as dancers and spoken word. As darkness descends, the street shop windows will be lit with installations and there will be displays and installations along the main street and on the Junction Green. A stall of hot drinks and snacks will be on hand, along with a brazier to keep you warm, but bring all your warmies and something to sit on.
Following on from the bands, Dance Collective Mohua (DCM) will present their ‘Light Fantastic’ dance and projection show. The event will close with a youth and local fire performers fire show.
This will be followed by an afterparty at the Roots Bar with more fire performances and local DJs.
