Big City Lights* Festival – Southport

Big City Lights* is a new festival celebrating urban and digital design, digital culture, music, and light in the heart of Southport CBD.

After a highly successful pilot program in 2022, Big City Lights* returns in winter 2024 for three weekends (Friday–Sunday).

The innovative, self-guided program will showcase immersive audio-visual experiences, large-scale digital works, 3D mapping, and unexpected projection sites, transforming the Gold Coast’s everyday urban spaces.

Big City Lights* will also include live music and performances at various venues and outdoor locations across Southport CBD, enhancing the appeal of this free, family-friendly festival for both locals and drive-market visitors.

Building facades and laneways in the CBD will be turned into mesmerizing technicolor displays by leading local and national artists specializing in light, installation, architecture, and digital design, complemented by live performances.
