Enlighten

As winter turns to spring in the nation’s capital, the city’s buildings are lit up with brightly coloured illuminations at night. The annual Enlighten festival features large scale projections on many of Canberra’s cultural icons, plus musical performances, film events and dining experiences.

The Enlighten festival takes place over several nights at the start of autumn. It features colourful eye-catching projections on several of Canberra’s landmarks including Parliament House, the National Gallery of Australia and Questacon.

In addition to the illuminations, Enlighten also hosts a range of after dark events and activities throughout its run. These events include musical performances, outdoor movie screenings, delicious food at the Night Noodle Markets, and a number of attractions open especially for night visitors.
