As daylight savings ends, the Allan Labor Government is bringing light to the Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne with the launch of Lightfall.
Minister for Environment Steve Dimopoulos launched Lightfall, with the worldwide debut at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne offering families a nighttime light trail experience over the next two weeks.
Lightfall is a one-kilometre trail that takes visitors through an illuminated landscape, inspired by the award-winning Lightscape at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne - winner of Best Major Event at the Victorian Tourism Awards and Bronze at the Australian Tourism Awards
From large-scale illuminated sculptures to lakeside reflections and an immersive soundscape, Victorians can embark on a magical evening after dark, with tasty food and drink options available along the route.
With easy access from Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, the event will provide visitors the opportunity to enjoy a world-class event right on their own doorsteps.
The event is produced in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment, with the support of Presenting Partner City of Casey and Major Partner Red Energy.

As stated by Minister for Environment Steve Dimopoulos
"Lightfall is a brand new experience that will allow visitors to see the spectacular gardens in a way they have never been seen before."
"Cranbourne Botanic Gardens are a hidden gem in Melbourne's south east and Lightfall will help bring in new visitors to experience the gardens for the first time."
As stated by Member for Cranbourne Pauline Richards
"We look forward to seeing many of our young families visit the garden after dark, especially during the school holidays."
As stated by Board Chair Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Penny Fowler
"Lightfall is a world-class experience for everyone - whether you're with family, friends, or on your own. Following the incredible success of Lightscape at Melbourne Gardens, we've created Lightfall with inclusivity at its heart."
"Our aim is to ensure that people of all ages, physical abilities and cultural backgrounds can come together at one of our State's most beautiful botanic gardens, enjoy the beauty of nature, and experience the creativity and wonder of a world-class event like Lightfall."
