Some of the Fantastic Lighting Displays!
Grand Entry
An entrance cube when you first come into the park! With fairy lights as a canopy and on the sides so you can walk amongst and under the stars

Pixel Strips
Very cool new technology called Pixel Strips which take video content and colour and provide amazing effects!
32 hanging pixel strips within the Band Rotunda. You can go into the band rotunda for photos and when the bands are playing on the Sat night it will be very cool!

Floating Gobos (Gobos – floating patterns of light)
Moving gently and then quickly across the grass and into the trees. Children can follow them and chase them around and generally let off some steam. Straight from the popular Christchurch Lit event! Kids big and small love chasing these. A fun idea for family

Talking Trees
A beloved favourite from Botanic D’Lights! People love the animation of living trees and seeing them talk to each other. The two trees talk to each other and make bad tree jokes!

Tree Lighting: Bringing more colour into Victoria Park! Up lighting and highlighting the beautiful trees in Victoria Park, creating a magical place in the heart of Rangiora!

Kinect Structure
Let’s get interactive! Using a huge led screen with a Kinect camera. You can stand on a small stage and interact with the screen! Bouncing balls or fire, people moving their arms or bodies to control the content on the screen. Amazing fun for the whole family!

Fireworks lights
Strip lights throughout the park, “planted” in the gardens. Red and Blue colours that look just like fireworks!

Outdoor Nightclub – creating memories
Using moving lights, a mirror ball, haze, smoke, bubbles, we can transform part of Victoria Park into a Disco! Great sounds, a dance area, all so you can have a dance with your friends and families – creating memories for the future!

Saturday Night Grand Finale!
Movie and Band Night
Starting in the early evening, we will play a family friendly movie! After the movie is finished, it will be getting dark and the lighting installations from the week will come to life!
We will also have local bands, food, attractions, a licensed bar as well as the amazing light shows!
