Melbourne’s popular Firelight Festival is returning to Docklands this July, bringing three nights of fire, light, food and family fun to the waterfront.
From 3–5 July 2026, Harbour Esplanade will come alive with fire performers, a spectacular laser light show, live music, glowing installations, roving entertainment, fire pits and plenty of winter treats.
A highlight this year is Echo, a stunning harbour installation featuring 147 illuminated marine buoys, creating a colourful display across the water. Visitors can also enjoy glow pickleball, interactive light displays and plenty of photo opportunities.
There will be a great selection of food and drink vendors serving everything from hot chocolate and s’mores to delicious street food. View the full program HERE
