Winter Wonderlights 2026: Experience the Magic in Ballarat's Sovereign Hill

Tickets are NOW ON SALE - SAVE THE DATE!

Mamma is super excited to announce that the Winter Wonderlights spectacular will be lighting up Sovereign Hill once again from June 26 - July 19, 2026.

This is one of our absolute fave things to do each and every winter. The spectacular Winter Wonderlights, with snow falling along Main Street, is just… pure magic at Sovereign Hill.

This year they are brining the Industrial Revolution to life. Watch for sparks, flames and steam and snowfall of course!

Get set to be mesmerised as traditional Christmas carols fill the air, Christmas trees and decorations line Main Street, and faux snow falls from above.

As the sun sets, Sovereign Hill is transformed into a sparkling winter wonderland, with grand-scale projections dancing across the historic building facades and fairy lights weaving through the streets.

Plus there’ll be theatre shows, arts and crafts, St Nicholas’ Grotto and plenty more festive fun!

This event gets busy, but the smiles on your little ones' faces make it worth it.

Please wrap up warm - it can be really cold here.

It’s a magical experience, so if you haven’t been yet, make this the year
