Light it!? a festival of light is a two-hour long spectacular promenade event, which uses light as a magical, transformative and spiritual force, cross-referencing the major festivals of Diwali, Halloween, Eid Al Fitr, Fireworks Night, Day of the Dead and Channukah, which are all variously celebrated by local communities. The park will be lit and animated with music and sound, candles and lanterns, sculptural artworks, video installations, a carousel, circus art and pyrotechnics. Leading up to and forming part of the event is a major programme of participatory community workshops, led by the artists in collaboration with local schools and communities.
