About

Lyttelton Festival of Lights is a mid-winter light spectacular transforming Lyttelton Harbour into a twinkling jewel. A masquerade party brings the festival to life on opening night. This is followed by a series of events featuring local food, music and performances at restaurants, clubs and other local venues in and around the harbour.

The famous street festival in Lyttelton has a spectacular mask parade, circus variety performers, music and dance, short films, an outdoor street market with winter warmers, quality art and craft and a brilliant firework display. There is something for every age group.
