Lightfall debuts at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne

Lightfall, a light trail experience, will premiere at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne in April next year.

Debuting in the April school holidays between 6 and 20 April, 2025, the one-kilometre trail will take visitors through an illuminated landscape of the garden, from large-scale illuminated sculptures to lakeside reflections and an immersive soundscape.

City of Casey mayor Stefan Koomen said: “The City of Casey is proud to be the presenting partner, working alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria and Sony to bring Lightfall to Australian audiences.

“To have this world-class installation, in the heart of our city, at the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is truly an honour and promises to be an event not to be missed.”

Director and chief executive at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria Chris Russell said: “We are thrilled to bring this exciting, affordable, new event to Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne in 2025.

“We hope that visitors of all ages make many lasting memories with their loved ones while enjoying a beautiful event in nature after dark.”

Inspired by the award-winning sensation, Lightscape at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Lightfall has been created in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment, with the support of the City of Casey and Red Energy.

Managing director of Sony Music Entertainment Jonathan Marks said: “We are delighted to bring Lightfall to the breathtaking Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne.

“This unique setting, with its remarkable native plants and striking landscapes, provides the perfect canvas for an immersive light experience.

“The fusion of art, light, and nature will create something truly extraordinary.”
