"It's exciting to launch Lightscape here at Kings Park to showcase our great city and all it has to offer.

"This spectacular display will capture the imaginations of more than 150,000 visitors and provides the opportunity to see our very own Kings Park in, quite literally, a whole new light.

"Not only will the 'City of Light' shine bright, but the event highlights the importance of conservation and culture, while boosting tourism and supporting our local economy."

"Kings Park is an iconic location and it's fantastic to see it come to life with the internationally renowned Lightscape.
