We love a good light festival, from the annual Lightscape in the Royal Botanic Gardens to Moama Lights at the edge of our state. And if you can’t get enough of twinkling dreamscapes, then get ready for Magic by Moonlight. This enchanting experience for the whole family will take over the George Pentland Botanical Gardens in Frankston. Look forward to over 400 light installations across four magical realms. This illuminating event will run on select days from Thursday September 12 to Sunday October 6, from 5:30pm to 10pm.
Magic by Moonlight
The gardens will transform into a wonderland for all ages. Look forward to enormous flowers, twinkling trees, fairies, elves and more in Fairy Land. Journey back in time and see prehistoric creatures in Dinosaur Land. Go on an aquatic adventure through Underwater World. And finally, explore the jungle and discover creatures from around the world in Animal Kingdom.
There will be over 400 installations to admire, featuring over 30,000 light bulbs. On top of the light displays, there will be a range of food trucks and refreshing drinks available. This is a family-friendly event, so there won’t be any alcohol. A portion of all ticket sales will go towards supporting the paediatric ward in the local hospital, Peninsula Health.
Event dates:
- Thursday September 12 to Sunday September 15
