A never-before-seen labyrinth of light and sound will ignite the Docklands precinct this winter – shining a spotlight on local businesses at an extended Firelight Festival experience.
As part of the much-loved Firelight Festival, the ticketed Firelight Labyrinth experience will make its world debut in Melbourne, designed by international creative lighting specialists, Mandylights.
Transforming the underground space at Marvel Stadium, visitors will weave their way through a mythical maze of light and sound – through cutting-edge technology, dynamic audio and over 144,000 lights.
The City of Melbourne’s free Firelight Festival will once again illuminate New Quay Promenade, Victoria Promenade and Harbour Esplanade in Docklands, offering a diverse range of tasty eats and entertainment, including:
- Dazzling fire performers, African drumming, live music and storytelling
- Fire pits and drums, flame jets, fire sculptures and arches
- Food and drink offerings including dumplings, smoked meats, paella, hot chocolate and churros.
Firelight Festival will spark into action as the school holidays begin, from Friday 28 June to Sunday 30 June, while the all-new Firelight Labyrinth experience will run from Friday 28 June to Sunday 14 July.
General admission tickets for Firelight Labyrinth will be priced at $37.50, and child tickets at $22. Concession and family discounts are available, and people will be given the opportunity to win free tickets as part of a unique, all-inclusive Docklands experience.
Marvel Stadium General Manager Scott Fitzgerald said: “Marvel Stadium is excited to be bringing Firelight Labyrinth to the stadium precinct. It’s just another family friendly event we are delivering with the aim to showcase activity at the stadium 365 days per year, alongside our newly renovated state-of-the-art Stadium Square.”
Exclusive pre-sale tickets will be available from Wednesday 1 May, with general sale beginning Thursday 2 May.
