HighLight: Carnival of Lights transforms Upper Hutt and Brewtown for four fun-fuelled bright nights over Easter.
It is bought to the community by Late Night Lights charitable trust with the support of our partners.

Calling All Light and Projection Artists!
In our pursuit of creating an unforgettable experience, we are actively seeking expressions of interest from artists, visionaries, and creators who are passionate about light and projection art.
HighLight 2024 aims to be a celebration of local, national and international talent, a showcase of innovation, and an exploration of the magic that can be woven with light.
Join us in making HighLight: Carnival of Light an event that will leave a lasting impression, not just in the Wellington region but in the hearts of everyone who experiences it. Your expression of interest could be the spark that lights up the next HighLight masterpiece.

Whether you buy your ticket online, at Whirinaki Whare Taonga or at the gates of Brewtown, your ticket will be valid for one entry on any of the four nights. No need to decide which night you’re coming just yet!
Don’t forget, children under 15 are free!
HighLight 2023 Charity Partner
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 93,000* New Zealanders. The traits associated with autism span a wide spectrum and lead to a different way of seeing the world and interacting with others. Autism New Zealand has worked continuously with the community to deliver thousands of educational programmes that increase public understanding of autism. We assist autistic people and those who make up their support network to learn about autism and find the supports and services they would like to access.
