Firelight Festival

This winter, Melbourne's iconic Firelight Festival returns to Docklands for one weekend only in July, offering an array of fire pits, captivating light shows, live music, pop-up food experiences, and more.

Firelight Festival 2025

Melbourne’s beloved Firelight Festival is back—bigger, bolder, and brighter than ever! For three spectacular nights, Docklands will come alive with fiery fun and glowing entertainment for the whole family.

Wander through flame-filled laneways as fire performers, illuminated sculptures, fire pits, and flame jets light up the night. Enjoy live music, roving entertainers, and the jaw-dropping debut of Humanoids—four giant inflatable figures by Australian artist Amanda Parer, appearing in Melbourne for the very first time.

Feast your way through the weekend with delicious wintery eats and treats, from gourmet street food to toasted s’mores and steaming hot chocolate. It’s all the warmth and wonder of winter, packed into one free, unmissable event.
