Illuminate Festival

You’re invited to join us at ILLUMINATE Raymond Terrace!

The outdoor event, Illuminate Raymond Terrace, is on tonight at Riverside Park, Raymond Terrace, bringing families and new residents together with a focus on inclusion, culture, diversity and belonging. HRHS will be performing musical numbers and SRC members parading a giant lantern created by our students. Our Wongagee dancers will be accompanying the parade with traditional animal dance.

Following a citizenship ceremony at 4pm, the community can get creative and make their own lantern, experience a special community parade. Fire flames lining the pathway along the iconic river will lead festival goers through an array of attractions like face painting, live music, a sideshow alley, roving fire twirlers and performers, all the way to a giant illuminated spaceship hosting a DJ for the silent disco. The evening will conclude with a spectacular display of fireworks at 9pm.
