Introducing Light Nelson 2018

A perfect night out for everyone, Light Nelson features artworks on every scale, from tiny discoveries, through to massive digital projections on the sides of buildings. Light Nelson celebrates the alluring qualities of light – to illuminate, transform, and to make a winter’s night a whole lot more magical.

This year is Light Nelson’s fourth outing. It’s hard to believe that what started as a wee spark of an idea in 2013, has come so far in such a short period of time. One of the most unique characteristics of Light Nelson is its strong sense of community. The vast majority of the people who create the fantabulous light installations are Nelson locals, as are the majority of the tens of thousands of people who will come along.

Light Nelson is a collaborative collusion of art, science and technology – from candlelight to high-tech laser, we promise an adventure of illusion, beauty and sheer gasp-out-loud delight. Special thanks to Nelson City Council and all our amazing sponsors, Luminaries and supporters – we couldn’t do it without you.

So rug up, come out and step into the unique experience of Light Nelson 2018.
