Before we left Tauranga I made sure to visit the Festival of Lights which was happening along the waterfront from the 11th to 16th July. The teens and the other half standing in front of the Matariki Display.
This is usually a display of different types of plants - at the moment it looks like there are some Calendula and other shrubs shaped and lit up like a boat.
These palms are lit up from the base near the railway tracks.
And this playground area for the kids were lit up almost like a space rocket.
This was my favourite - two people dressed up as cats - so futuristic!
The last one was different trees were wrapped with different likes of lights. I think for us we wanted to see more so it seemed like there wasn't enough. Good to experience though.
Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

Wow, I've never heard of that festival. Fantastic . I'm glad nzers are embracing their native side
That is beautiful. I love the two people with the lighted masks.
I didn't know that Tauranga had a festival of lights - love the two "cats".
Beautiful Amy -- I'm glad you took time to visit the festival before you left. I first learned about it on a blog from India -- did not realize (but should have) that it was celebrated elsewhere. Wonderful.
That looks like so much fun! I love those cat-people.
The cat-people are quite a show stopper!
What a great festival to attend. I love the cat people, they're cool.
I love light displays and this one is lovely!
They are lovely, but i prefer the nature parks!
What a fun festival.
Super shots of the Light Festival Amy, you just reminded me that I haven't been into the city at night to see our festival lights ✨
That is one cool festival!
Worth a Thousand Words
Definitely the cat people for my vote.
Very colourful but those cat people take the gold medal.
Light festivals have become very popular over the last several years. I like these smaller ones that are more community orientated.
