Wyndham Park is getting a literal glow-up this March with a dazzling after dark experience returning to the Werribee recreation area. Lit at Wyndham Park is a free, after-hours art experience that turns the space into a glowing wonderland through a number of immersive attractions. This year, highlights include several large-scale installations, including a colourful, interactive ChronoHarp instrument, giant glowing trumpet flowers that perform musical melodies, a glowing moon, giant night parrots, a glowing light walk and much more. To make a night of it, there's plenty of restaurants, bars, pubs and more within the city centre of Werribee. Lit at Wyndham Park is free to enjoy and will run nightly Wednesday to Sunday from March 8 to 24, open between 8pm and 11pm. There will also be a sensory friendly night on March 12. Enter via Werribee's Wedge Street Piazza and head to the website for more information. Looking for more fun? Here's our guide to what's on in Melbourne this weekend.
