Accessible & Thoughtful
I attended with my sister who uses a wheelchair. Ramps, wide paths and attentive staff made it simple to get around. The atmosphere was gentle and the visuals stunning. Couldn’t have asked for a kinder crew. I attended with my sister who uses a wheelchair. Ramps, wide paths and attentive staff made it simple to get... I attended with my sister who uses a wheelchair.

Worth Every Penny
Beautiful lighting, lovely live music and delicious street food. The organisers clearly care about the details, from safety to cleanliness. We felt looked after from start to finish—already planning to come back with friends. Beautiful lighting, lovely live music and delicious street food.
