Hume’s after-dark festival returns to dazzle

Hume’s most luminous celebration is back– bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 21 2025, as the Hume Winter Lights Festival transforms the Town Hall Broadmeadows precinct into a glowing wonderland of art, music, food and immersive fun from 6pm to 10pm.

This free, family-friendly festival is Melbourne’s northern star of winter events, and it is ready to enchant locals and visitors alike.

Known for its award-winning atmosphere, the festival will once again feature live music, interactive light projections, immersive art installations, and roving performers lighting up the streets.

An interactive art exhibition, delicious food trucks, and hands-on activities for all ages round out the night.

Although registration isn’t required, it’s encouraged via Eventbrite to stay up to date with event announcements.

Entry is subject to venue capacity and children under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.

To find out more and register your interest, visit hume.vic.gov.au/hwlf– and get ready to step into a festival that lights up the soul.
