This March, Wyndham Park in Werribee will be transformed into a glowing wonderland as LIT returns with a fresh new program of stunning light installations to explore. This is such a great event!

Presented by Wyndham City, this FREE light-based experience will open on 8 March and run over 14 spectacular nights.

Each year LIT offers something new and wonderful to enjoy, with this year’s program shaping up to be one of the best yet, with all-new lighting installations to enjoy.

Program Highlights
Make music with the spectacular trumpet flowers and Chronoharp, be mesmerised by a giant glowing moon, wander along the glimmering nature trail, be wowed by playful night parrots, plus lots more.

Trumpet Flowers by Amigo & Amigo – shrink down to size below the glowing trumpet flowers and contribute to the musical melodies.

Birdsong by Skunk Control – wander down the nature trail and look out for the beautiful sculptural birds, who have gathered to form a chorus and protect local species and sooth the community…but listen closely, do they have a warning for us?

Bloom by The Indirect Object – relax amongst the gentle, soft pink inflatable gumnuts and flowers.

Ursula Lassos The Moon by Studio Vertigo – from UK artists, an ethereal, swirling glowing moon has been plucked from the sky and harnessed by a rope lasso.

Night Parrots by Chalk River Labs – hypnotic, kaleidoscopic light washes over the giant night parrots which were until recently thought to be extinct.

Nocturnal Neighbourhood by Christie Widarto – as night falls, the animated nocturnal neighbourhood of animals come out to play!

Cosmic Reverie by Teeny Fletcher - Werribee artist Teeny Fletcher takes us on a journey from dusk to dawn in a beautiful, dreamy glowing light walk.

Eat the Street
Wyndham Park is an easy stroll to Werribee’s own ‘Eat Street’ – Watton Street so you can make a night of with loads of restaurants and takeaway options to choose from.

Here are five to try:

- Enjoy the South Indian flavours of Pulao Place! They are offering a $35 LIT feast for two including a starter, curry, two rotis or naan and flavoured rice!

- Head to Baby J’s for the most mouth-watering desserts! Baby J’s are offering two free milkshakes when you purchase any two loaded desserts (mention the LIT special to redeem!)

- Ages Pizza: A local Werribee favourite, Ages will be keeping those tummies happy with grab and go pizza by the slice options on Friday and Saturday Nights - $3 for one or $5 for two.

- Start with a coffee at Tuckers! They’ll be open late during LIT (aside from 12 March) from 7pm – 10pm or grab a hot drink at newcomer Three Little Pigs – who will be open late on Friday nights to see you through your LIT adventure.

Mamma’s Top Tips for the BEST night!

Charge your phone – you’re going to want to take a LOT of photos!
For a smooth arrival, check out the handy list of car parks on the LIT website and list of entry points – you can access Wyndham Park via Wedge Street Piazza, Bicentennial Bridge on Comden Drive or via the Skate Park on Werribee Street.
Get your crew together and book in for dinner! While there are loads of grab and go options on Watton Street, restaurant bookings are recommended. Picnics are also welcome.
Pick up an ID wristband for your kids! You’ll find them at each of the entry points and in the dark, they make it so much easier to get reunited if you get separate.
LIT is popular! If you’re looking for a quieter night, try Wednesdays and Thursdays.
