Trail of Lights

The festival, to be held along the Federation Trail between Sayers Rd and Skeleton Creek and into the Wyndham Waters Wetlands, will run for 4 weeks and include installations by artists, lanterns made by the community and decorative lights. Lanterns will be made in workshops at kindergartens, schools, shopping centres and community centres.

Other initiatives include replacement of fences, the opening of crossing points over the Main Outfall Sewer and shipping containers to create new community spaces.

The opening will be celebrated with street performers, a welcome to country ceremony, a lion dance, face painting and food trucks.

The festival will transform a barrier in our community into an asset that is a place of pride and build a happier, healthier and safer community.

Having residents, schools and other groups making the lanterns will create a sense of belonging and create an opportunity for neighbours to connect with each other.

The lanterns will be located along 4.5kms of trail encouraging residents to walk the full length of the festival area.

The project will also include permanent safety and access improvements including replacement of sections of the fence along the Main Outfall Sewer and open crossing points.
