Trust Horizon Light Up Whakatāne is a collaborative effort by Arts Whakatāne, EPIC town centre group and Whakatāne District Council to bring together our community and manuhiri to celebrate arts, music, dance, and interactions through light. Light activations and digital displays, by local and regional artists, are installed throughout Whakatāne CBD and illuminated for ten nights, bringing light and joy to the darkness of winter.

Using the darkness of winter, Whakatāne's festival will be held over ten nights from 26th July to 4th August 2024. The Lighting Festival will delight participants with light activations and digital displays by both local and regional artists.

Art works will be installed in various locations encouraging visitors to walk amongst our parks through the town centre and along the riverside to enjoy and delight at the lighting and digital displays.
