Firelight Festival
Last year, 100,000 visitors visited Docklands to check out this flaming winter festival. Ignite your senses in this free experience, and heat up near fire pits, flame jets, fire sculptures and arches. Listen to live music and storytelling, feel the rhythm of African drumming and feel dazzled by roving fire performers.
While you’re there, indulge in some delicious food and drink. Stay toasty with smoked meats, dumplings, paella, hot chocolate, churros and more.
This year, don’t miss the brand-new Firelight Labyrinth experience. Created by international lighting specialists, Mandylights, the labyrinth will make its world debut right here in Melbourne.
Inspired by the tale of Theseus and the Minotaur, you’ll venture into an underground space at Marvel Stadium, and move through a maze of light and sound. Navigate through three distinct rooms, and encounter over 144,000 lights, as well as dynamic audio and technology.
General admission tickets will be $37.50, and tickets for children will be $22. There will be concession and family discounts, as well as opportunities to win free tickets. The pre-sale starts on Wednesday May 1, and general sale starts on Thursday May 2.
