Werribee’s Wyndham Park is once again hosting LIT, a spectacular free after-dark experience, in 2026.
LIT was a massive hit in previous years and you can expect the event in 2026 to be bigger and better! Running from Friday 24 April to Sunday 3 May 2026 plus Sensory Night, Monday 27 April, this free event lights up the nights, with extra fun for families during the autumn school holidays. Whether you’ve been before or this will be your first time, there’s something new to see and explore every year.
LIT Werribee
The best part? It’s designed with families in mind.
This year, they’re lighting up a little earlier, with new event hours from 6pm to 10pm nightly.
The vibrant light displays are not only visually stunning but also completely interactive. Kids will be mesmerized by glowing animals, towering wildflowers, and shimmering trees that look like they belong in a fairytale.
The giant, iridescent bubbles are a must-see, too—they’re almost big enough to walk through!
This free family-friendly event is located inside Wyndham Park in the heart of Werribee city centre.
Over fourteen spectacular nights, you can enjoy all-new lighting installations throughout Wyndham Park.
In 2026, LIT will be back with a dazzling array of all new illuminated installations from local and interstate artists.
Our highlights in 2025 included:
The Ephemeral Collection – Prepare to be amazed by more than 50 larger-than-life, shimmering bubbles from Atelier Sisu. These glowing orbs change colour and emit sound, creating a mesmerising, otherworldly experience.
Tarutharu – The Kaurna Skink – This 27-metre-long illuminated sculpture, created by A Blanck Canvas in collaboration with First Nations artist Elizabeth Close and Jack Buckskin, celebrates the cultural significance of the Kaurna Peoples. It’s a must-see centrepiece of the festival.
Ctrl-Alt-Self – Ever wanted to see yourself in light? This interactive installation by Studio John Fish lets you create and move with a holographic-like projection of yourself in real time—kids will love this one!
The Guardians – Towering, glowing sculptures inspired by Australian wildflowers, designed by Matthew Aberline with The Beautiful and Useful Studio. These striking floral figures bring a bold splash of colour to the festival.
GOBO Light Walk – Follow a trail of enchanting lights with a brand-new installation from local Wyndham artist Ariadne Concha. This dreamy walk-through experience is perfect for families looking to soak up the magic at a slower pace.
And think you know the park’s rocket ship? Well, you have never seen it like this before!
