OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF BIG CITY LIGHTS 2024

Following an extremely successful pilot program in 2022, BIG CITY LIGHTS* is back!  An event was hosted in the Hutong Gardens in the Gold Coast CBD to officially kick off the festival.  The impressive program presented by Experience Gold Coast features more than 39 works across more than 40 locations, including Nerang Street, Scarborough Street, Regent Lane, Davenport Street and Davidson Lane in Southport.

The festival is family friendly and free. It will be presented over three weekends from 21 June – 7 July 2024, Friday, Saturday & Sunday nights, 5.30pm till 9.30pm.

The cutting-edge, self-guided festival features immersive audio-visual experiences, large-scale digital works, 3D-mapping and installations that transform Southport’s laneways and buildings into an outdoor gallery – literally using the building facades as a blank canvas.

BIG CITY LIGHTS* will also feature live music and performances in venues and at outdoor sites across the Gold Coast CBD, adding to the appeal of the free, family-friendly and accessible festival to a wide demographic of locals and drive-market visitors.

The festival features leading local and national artists including Joan Ross, Justene Williams, Judy Watson, Vernon Ah Kee, Erik Griswold, Yuriyal Bridgeman, Lawrence English and Julian Day.

Be sure to try out some of the delicious restaurants at Australia Fair Metro and some of the hip and happening bars and venues all over the Gold Coast CBD.
