The award-winning Hume Winter Lights Festival returns on Saturday 21 June to light up the night with an immersive winter experience at Town Hall Broadmeadows Precinct from 6pm – 10pm.
Now in its third iteration, the festival has drawn tens of thousands of locals and visitors from across Victoria, cementing Hume’s reputation as a vibrant, cultural destination.
This year’s festival returns with more:
Artists will have their exhibits on display which include feature works by Wurundjeri Elders, local artists, students, and community members.
Featured local Hume artists include Renee Broders with Paper Dreams showcasing her view on the world through animated collage, Callum Preston with his exhibition in the Town Hall Broadmeadows Gallery, Back and Forth, which delves into how the world around us is in constant motion, a series of actions and reactions that make up our time on Earth, and personal reflections on identity and migration by photographer Erhan Tirli.
Other highlights include tributes to Wurundjeri leader William Barak, and Tina the Long Neck Turtle – a vibrant, student-led installation celebrating language, culture, and ecological connection.
Finally, Spencer Rose will showcase their immersive experience art projection within Town Hall Broadmeadows. Each work offers a personal insight into the artist’s life and experience, reflecting the diverse voices that shape our community.
Together, these artworks highlight how individual journeys are part of a shared collective story — shaped by place, culture, and connection.
The main stage will host a packed lineup of artists including our two major headliners.
ARIA Award nominated electronic duo Bag Raiders will be bringing their infectious beats and cosmic vibes to Hume. Known for their hit ‘Shooting Stars’, they’ll provide the perfect soundtrack for a dance party under the night sky.
Gold Coast siblings Lastlings will provide a dreamy winter’s night backdrop with their ethereal, dreamy sounds that have delighted audiences at world-class festivals Coachella, Spilt Milk and Splendour in the Grass.
