Lightscape 2026

Lightscape Melbourne is an award-winning, after-dark winter light and sound show held at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. It features illuminated walking trails, large-scale glowing art installations, and interactive light displays created by local and international artists.

It has become a very enjoyable annual tradition for my daughter, Cathy, and me to go to this event each year. We start with a nice dinner in the Observatory Restaurant and then enjoy our walk around the two kilometre long track through the gardens enjoying the light show, projections and illuminations. They are nothing short of spectacular!

Here are some of the sights that we saw last Thursday night.
