This year’s festival was packed with events, including:

🌠Four thrilling drone races

🌠Two amazing carnival performances

🌠Late night openings at Showtown and the Grundy Art Gallery

🌠Shared our knowledge and expertise through the Lightlab programme for emerging light artists

🌠Fantastic community projects like Lightbox and The Crow and the Wood of Wishes: A Claremont Tale, bringing local groups together to create interactive art!
