A vibrant new audiovisual festival will light up the Murray River next month
Words by Talia Rinaldo
Moama Lights will illuminate a 600-metre trail with an immersive light and sound installation.
Nestled on the banks of the Murray River, Echuca Moama has long been the ideal weekend getaway for families, couples and friends thanks to its scenic landscapes, paddle steamers, lively spirit, and the perk of being not too far from Melbourne to warrant a little getaway.
A prime winter destination, you’ve now got one more reason to pack the car and hit the Hume next month with a brilliant new festival set to take over the town.
Murray River Council
Murray River Council will be lighting up the Murray in May this year when they launch their exciting new festival: Moama Lights!
An immersive sound and light trail showcasing the story of Echuca Moama, Moama Lights will feature light installations and projections including theatrical fog, strobe and cutting edge moving light technology.
Through three different acts – Echuca Moama indigenous culture, riverboat heritage and present-day life – visitors and locals will witness a new and exciting way of getting to know the local area.
Murray River Council Mayor, Chris Bilkey is encouraging people to attend the inaugural event.
“Set to the backdrop of a beautiful bush setting, this is guaranteed to be a spectacular outdoor lighting event. It really is something that shouldn’t be missed.”
