The Christchurch Is Lit light festival was held in 2020, including at New Regent St, pictured. This year, the city will celebrate a new light festival, called Tīrama Mai, to coincide with Matariki.
The light festival replaced the popular Botanic D Lights event, which attracted 136,000 people when it was last held in 2018. Cokojic said Tīrama Mai – meaning to illuminate or bring light - would be the city’s first lighting event held specifically to coincide with Matariki. “We want it to grow to become a highly collaborative festival, with mana whenua guiding cultural elements and design.” The lighting trails would be open daily between 6pm and 11pm from June 25 to July 10. Installations would be set up around The Arts Centre, Christchurch Art Gallery, Worcester Blvd, Victoria Square, the Ōtākaro Avon River Precinct, New Regent St and New Brighton.
