Free community art and light festival in Queenstown, Lighting up Queenstown. This coming long weekend, June 1 – 4, Queenstown will be illuminated with art and sculpture for the third annual LUMA Southern Light Project. Over 35,000 locals and visitors from all over the world attended LUMA last year, which transformed Queenstown’s famous gardens and lakefront into a dazzling display of glowing art. LUMA is a family friendly event, showcasing a curated collection of stunning light sculptures and installations from local, national and international artists, all designed to take people on a magical journey whilst stimulating their creative senses. LUMA has been created specifically for our community and it is unique to our town. People from all over Queenstown get involved, from artists, businesses, Council to our local schools. The LUMA family boasts a large network of over 100 volunteers and helpers who help bring this event to life. In 2018 sustainability features amongst its themes with local schools producing two exhibits highlighting environmental impact. Additionally, this year we are teaming up with Dishrupt & Sustainable Queenstown, minimising waste, composting and trialling re-usable plates, all with a 2020 zero waste goal in mind. We encourage everyone to use their feet, take the bus or at the very least please ride share. There will be a dedicated drop off zone at the Park St entrance for those lucky passengers with a driver willing to park and walk.

In a town where adventure activities take precedence and are all too often designed for the tourist dollar, we take pride that this world class event is free for all to attend. That said, we encourage you to bring along a gold coin or three as we will be taking donations and need your support to help LUMA shine bright long into the future. LUMA brings our community together during what is typically one of the coldest and quietest times of year to showcase the arts. So dress warm, dress up and come get amongst it this weekend!
