From frolicking fluoro fairies to monsters in the deep, the minute the sun went down Queenstown Gardens was transformed into a lit-up wonderland.
The fourth annual Luma Light Festival began in the resort last night, showcasing dozens of light installations and close to 100 live performers.
They included the bright and bold Flame Entertainment Fairies (pictured), who returned after dazzling the crowd at last year’s festival.
A projection of a tentacled sea monster on the garden pond also proved a hit.
After a week of consistent rain and threats of snow, the skies cleared just in time for the first lights to be switched on about 5pm.
The festival, which is expected to attract at least 50,000 people, runs until Monday night.
