Welcome to the 2024 BIG CITY LIGHTS* Festival.
With over 100 artists in more than 40 different locations across Southport CBD, the 2024 BIG CITY LIGHTS* is back for a second year bigger and brighter.
There are large-scale projections that re-interpret building facades, surround sound audio works that envelope the CBD in sonic waves, and interactive installations, films from across the country and so much more!
We invite you to choose your own adventure – wander the streets, ponder the artworks, interact with the installations and lose yourself in the film or live music program.
Complete your night out by visiting one of our favourite bars and restaurants and share your BIG CITY LIGHTS* experience with us socials!
The 2024 BIG CITY LIGHTS* festival is fun, free and the perfect winter escape. Come once and come again with family and friends 💜🖤
