The Rangiora Light and Sound Festival hopes to build on the success of Christchurch's Botanic D'Lights extravaganza. A Rangiora Light and Sound Festival is planned for Victoria Park over four nights, complete with a fairyland of talking trees, disco lights, music, dancing lights, interactive lighting displays, and smoke and bubble machines. It comes hard on the heels of the tough decision to cancel the annual Waimakariri Winter Festival because of Covid-19. But we have managed to get a good number of winter festival sponsors to back a new event and it will be fantastic. Karl says with all the infrastructure in place, the Rangiora Festival of Colour will fit in seamlessly on the Sunday, from 10am to 4pm.
