In Perth, the capital of Western Australia, the immersive illumination art event 'Lightscape 2026' will be held from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, July 26, 2026, at Kings Park, a vast urban park overlooking the city. Located in the Southern Hemisphere, Perth experiences winter when it is summer in Japan, making it the perfect event to enjoy nature and light art.
The globally acclaimed 'Lightscape' was first held in Kings Park in 2023, drawing over 400,000 visitors and garnering high praise. In 2026, it returns to color Kings Park once again, completely revamped under a new creative vision. More than 20 large-scale installations will appear in the botanical paradise beloved by Perth's citizens. A fantastical illumination trail spanning 1.8km will unfold, blending light art, soundscapes, and artistic storytelling.
The installations comprise magical new and popular works by internationally renowned artists, as well as captivating pieces by Perth's creative community, creating an enchanting night. One of the highlights is 'Herbum,' a glowing grass installation reaching up to 8 meters high by the French artist collective TILT. Also not to be missed is the 'Mycelium Network' illumination by UK-based artist Stevie Thompson, which mimics the complex network of fungi. Under the starry sky, with mulled wine or hot chocolate in hand, you can fully enjoy the winter night as you stroll through the park enveloped in vibrant colors and music.
The venue, Kings Park, boasts one of the world's largest areas for an inner-city park. Covering approximately 400 hectares, it is a cultural and environmental landmark symbolizing Perth, home to over 3,000 species of native Western Australian flora. Situated on a hill, it is highly popular as a scenic spot offering a panoramic view of the Perth cityscape stretching along the Swan River.
Perth, boasting the longest sunshine hours among Australia's capital cities, is known as the sun-drenched 'City of Light.' 'Lightscape 2026' gorgeously colors Perth's night scene with artistic illuminations. Please take this opportunity to enjoy Kings Park as it transforms into an art space of light.

About 'Kings Park'
Spread across a hill overlooking the city just west of central Perth, Kings Park is a lush oasis beloved by citizens. As one of the world's largest urban parks, its vast grounds of about 400 hectares consist of natural bushland occupying two-thirds of the area, inhabited by about 80 species of birds. Easily accessible by free bus from central Perth, visitors can spend a relaxing time in nature. Activities include visiting the Botanic Garden planted with about 3,000 species of flora unique to Western Australia, picnicking on the grassy parklands with sweeping views of the Swan River and the Perth skyline, forest bathing on the glass-bottom bridge over the eucalyptus canopy walk, and finding stylish souvenirs at the gallery shop. Various cultural experience tours with Indigenous Aboriginal guides are also available. Every year from September to October, the 'Everlasting Kings Park Festival' is held, drawing many tourists from around the world to a spectacular floral festival where wildflowers gather from all over Western Australia.
