LYTTELTON HARBOUR FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS 2017 THIS FRIDAY

Clear your diaries folks!

It’s that time of year again when we gather in the streets of beautiful Lyttelton, wrapped up in our warmest of winter wear, to celebrate, be entertained, eat delicious street food, drink warm mulled wine or cider, listen to awesome live music and wait to then watch the winter night sky light up in splendour with an array of streaming colour!

Yes this Friday the Lyttelton Harbour Festival of Lights kicks off at 6pm prompt and we can’t wait to be there!

You may have already noticed some light installations popping up around Lyttelton. These will all be shining bright this Friday….

We have the full programme listed below with some highlights being a Kapa Haka performance by the Rapaki Whanau, live music from The Eastern, the annual harbour fireworks display and to top it off Lyttelton’s first ever silent disco!

Bring your dancing shoes and your best moves!
