Lightscape Returns to Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

After a sell-out season in 2025, Lightscape is returning to Melbourne in 2026!

Lights, sounds, and nature will collide again this winter at Lightscape at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. Returning from 12 June to 2 August 2026, Lightscape will illuminate Melbourne's most beautiful gardens in a magical cacophony of colours.

Explore playful beams of light, walk through glowing tunnels and linger at waterside reflections. It’s an illuminating winter walk in a unique natural wonderland that you won’t want to miss!
