Wander through mesmerizing projections, interactive light installations, enjoy nightly live entertainment and festival themed cocktails, food and bites from 5pm until late. The Festival is completely free for the community and runs for 10 nights Wednesday 19th – Saturday 29 July.

ACCORDION

Accordion, a multisensory large-scale installation work from Simone Chua’s prolific Amigo & Amigo studio (VIVID Sydney, Canary Wharf London, Eurovision 2023).

Comprised of six giant colourful interactive archways, each with an interactive pad at the base that can be jumped on to create unique waves of colour, light and music.

Accordion has toured to major festivals from London to Hong Kong, before arriving at Rialto Aglow.

LIGHT PROJECTIONS

Discover kaleidoscopic light projections across the architecturally significant 1890’s InterContinental Rialto heritage building.

See the colourful interpretation of the tessellated geometric canopy that also provides all weather protection over the dynamic public Piazza of this much-loved Melbourne landmark.

NEON PLAY THE MUSIC

Join the band to deliver a glowing performance with a collection of interactive life-size neon musical instruments.

Marvel at the Double Rainbow Love Heart Archway and follow the luminous balloons up, up into the Piazza.

Australian neon artist Carla O’Brien’s works have featured at White Night, Burning Man, Festival of Light. 

LUNA LAMP POSTS

Lunar Lamp Posts is a new giant 10 x 10-metre interactive light installation inspired by the cycles of the moon.

The lamp posts are designed in a circular pattern showing the moon’s different phases around the Earth, with over 40 different music sounds and interactive lighting animations.

Touch and play as the forest of moons illuminates and animates with light, music, sound and colour.
