Local Attractions

The TSB Bank Festival of Lights is the place to be every summer, where New Plymouth's gem, Pukekura Park is transformed into a wonderland of lights! At night, fluorescent pebble paths sparkle beneath excited feet, majestic trees and plants glow, and waterfalls and lakes shimmer and shine beneath thousands of lights. But it's the features such as the talking giant, fire poi dancers or the parades that captivate the young and the not so young. Structures such as the park's water wheel, fountains and historic band rotunda are flooded with lights, while illuminated wooden rowboats offer a romantic boating opportunity like no other. Nightly entertainment begins on Saturday 26 December 2009 through to Sunday 31 January 2010. Two stages of entertainment showcase a huge variety of local, national and international performers. The attractions are still being finalised, so the 'On Stage' and 'Summer Scene' parts of the web site are yet to be updated. Check back in late November for details, and we will also have Festival booklets available at our events. And best of all - it is all FREE.
