Lights Up!
Friday 7th Sep, 2018 → Sunday 9th Sep, 2018
LIGHTS UP! Get ready for a three-day celebration of collaboration and community. How do you light up a space? You reach out and invite your community in. We’re getting the gang together for a weekend-long party, and you’re invited.
Some events are free to the public while some are ticketed or donation based (we’re excited to share the cause with you soon!). To stay green, physical tickets won’t be required for ticketed events – we’ll simply add you to our door list after your purchase! Now get your dancing pants ready because we have some exciting events lined up for you:
