For those of you who haven't visited us between Christmas and the end of January yet, here is a glimpse of the festival of lights that goes on. What happens is they spend weeks stringing up the park in the city with lights and then for just over a month, they light it up each night and most nights there is live music (or movies) for free.
It's great. We managed to go about 5 or 6 nights this year (sometimes it was too hard to stay up until dark!) and most of the music was brilliant. Unfortunately they have been cutting back year-to-year so I think the music nights are fewer and overall it was shorter than last year but hopefully with wise spending the council can keep it going.
These pics are from the very last night this season. The band that was on was called Sola Rosa and they were the perfect blend of beats, vocals and groovin.
I also came across this video tour of the lights at night:
So, if you are considering a visit, we highly recommend planning it for late December and into January ;)
