WHAKATĀNE TOWN CENTRE

Light art installations, sculptures and digital displays by local and regional artists showcased throughout the town centre and riverfront for 8 days, alongside music, dance and entertainment on the two community nights.

Trust Horizon Light Up Whakatāne is a collaborative effort by Arts Whakatāne, EPIC town centre group and Whakatāne District Council to bring together our community and manuhiri to celebrate arts, music, dance, and interactions through light, bringing light and joy to the darkness of winter.
