Apart from the colourful projections and light installations, a long table dinner will dominate the highly anticipated return of Illuminate in May.
Opening Wollondilly’s Festival of Art & Light on Friday 20 May, Picton Botanic Gardens will come to life with lights and a spectacular illuminated sculpture and lantern display on, with the long table dinner taking centre stage under the Avenue of Trees from 6 to 9pm.
Attendees will be treated to a four-course dinner served by The Chef and I, accompanied by beverages and live entertainment by singer Karleigh Rose who promises a selection of easy listening music to complement the beautiful surroundings.
Mayor Matt Gould said he was looking forward to seeing people take part this special evening as part of the three- day festival.
“After almost three years of Covid cancellations we can finally bring the Illuminate festival back, bigger and better than ever,” he said.
