The Enlighten Festival is back for 2021 with 17 days of celebrations across the Territory from 26 February to 14 March.
Minister for Tourism, Andrew Barr said that while the events would still be free to attend, registrations would be required for many activities to help keep the community COVID-safe.
“The Enlighten Festival brings together a variety of exciting events including the Canberra Balloon Spectacular, Lights! Canberra! Action!, Symphony in the Park, Canberra Day and of course, the ever popular Enlighten Illuminations,” Mr Barr said.
“Some of the capital’s most loved and iconic buildings will come to life as the Illuminations light up after dark on the National Portrait Gallery, National Library of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Australian Parliament House, Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, and Questacon,” he said.
“Registrations are not required for viewing the projections and installations, however when onsite people will be encouraged to use the Check In CBR app.”
Mr Barr said Canberra’s major attractions would also open their doors to host an array of exclusive after-dark events, with tickets to go on sale later this month.
“The popular Enlighten Alley and Bentspoke Beer Garden will also return, offering a great range of local food and beverages,” the Chief Minister said.
He said registrations would be required for timed sessions at each location and were now open.
