POPULAR winter light show Electric Wonderland is returning to Rosalind Park for another installment during the mid-year holidays.<\/p>\n

Approaching just its fourth year, the event – put together by Stanley Street audio-visual production company Power AV – has already become a local family favourite, as well as attracting thousands of visitors from across Victoria and interstate.<\/p>\n

This year will feature an array of new installations including a giant magical snow-globe, interactive dance-pads with a “fiery finale”, projection portals and an immersive reef of underwater creatures.<\/p>\n

Electric Wonderland event and creative manager Alicia Villiers encouraged residents and visitors to save the date.<\/p>\n

“This July, our popular Electric Wonderland will return with some exciting new attractions and family favourites, inviting visitors and residents to play, explore and capture magical selfie moments,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to warm up Rosalind Park with Electric Wonderland for the fourth consecutive winter with a show that will surprise and delight audiences.”<\/p>\n

City of Greater Bendigo manager economy and experience James Myatt said Electric Wonderland was a must-see event.<\/p>\n

“The City of Greater Bendigo is delighted to see the return of Electric Wonderland with awe-inspiring installations and hands-on experiences,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It will be a highlight of the winter school holidays for people of all ages to enjoy.”<\/p>\n

Electric Wonderland takes place from Friday 26 June to Tuesday 14 July in Rosalind Park.<\/p>\n

Program details, event maps, opening times and the ticket release date will be announced in the approaching months.<\/p>\n
