Backyard cricket, a seafood lunch, movies, parties… this year’s Christmas Lights Spectacular at Hunter Valley Gardens is sure to deliver that tingling sensation of the holiday season and more. In its seventh year, Christmas Lights Spectacular has the running title of the largest Christmas lights display in the Southern Hemisphere. With over 1.5 million lights, as well as fireworks on the opening night, the event is a guaranteed way to kick start the festive time of year for the whole family.
Kyle McKendry, General Manager of Hunter Valley Gardens says, “This spectacle grows each year and is such an exciting place to take the kids. It is so wonderful to see the awe on a child’s face when they see the lights and meet Santa for the first time. There is so much to explore, such as the Cinderella Castle and New Christmas Marquee as well as all the thrilling sights and sounds. Christmas Lights Spectacular has truly become a hearty family tradition.”
This year, eat, drink and be merry with an even greater variety of food and beverage stalls. Up until Christmas, revisit your nostalgic youth to the sound of carols and performers, whilst The Little Scallywagz and fun amusement rides such as the Flying Bugs and the Ferris Wheel entertain the children.
Christmas Lights Spectacular will be dazzling every night from Friday 15th November, 2013 until Sunday 26th January, 2014 (excluding Christmas Day and night). Gates will open nightly from 6.30pm, with pre-lights entertainment and food stalls. The lights display will commence at 7.30pm.
