Dazzling New Glow (FREE Event)
One of Melbourne’s most loved free night events is returning to the west!
The LIT Festival is back for 2026, transforming Wyndham Park in Werribee into a magical glowing wonderland filled with large-scale illuminated art, interactive installations and mesmerising projections.
Running for 10 nights from 24 April to 3 May, this popular Wyndham City event is completely free to attend and perfect for families looking for something special to do after dark.
What is LIT Festival?
LIT is an award-winning outdoor light festival that brings together artists from across Australia to create spectacular illuminated artworks throughout Wyndham Park.
As the sun sets, the park comes alive with glowing sculptures, projections, tunnels of light and immersive art installations that visitors can explore at their own pace.
For 2026, the event returns with all-new installations and an earlier start time, running nightly from 6pm to 10pm.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning after previous years, expect to see the park completely transformed in a magical new way.

Melbourne With Kidz Tip:
Arrive around sunset so you can watch the park slowly light up as darkness falls. It’s a magical experience for kids and makes for great photos.
