Illumina - a winter light and sound experience

Wander beneath trees that shimmer with colour. Feel the warmth of crackling firepits as you roast marshmallows beneath the stars. Let neon face-paint transform you into part of the art. Let music guide your steps through a luminous world designed to enchant all ages.

Whether you come with family, friends or a spark of curiosity, Illumina promises moments of wonder you’ll carry long after the lights fade. Join us these school holidays from 10-13 July and step into a winter wonderland of glowing lights.

Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, in the heart of Victoria's High Country, Flowerdale Estate invites guests to walk a trail where light and sound intertwine with local legend and landscape. Set against the backdrop of 180 years of history, the event will guide visitors through a glowing dreamscape where native wildlife, mischievous bushland characters, and the stories of the valley come alive in interactive installations, ambient soundscapes and firelit gathering places.

This is not just a light show - it's an experience that melds history, nature and creativity in a way no other regional event does. The journey is designed for families, couples and explorers of all ages, with opportunities to pause, play and connect at every turn - including a silent disco beneath the stars and a glass of mulled wine to warm your hands and your heart. Stay a little longer with exclusive accommodation packages that invite you to relax in beautifully appointed guest rooms, wake to bird song, and savour the calm of the countryside. With expansive lawns, roaming kangaroos and a deep-rooted connection to the land, Flowerdale Estate is a destination in itself. Illumina not only offers a magical evening escape but reinforces Regional Victoria as a vibrant, year-round destination for events that blend culture, cuisine and country charm.
