The Warburton River of Light Winter Festival was held on the evening of Saturday 24 August.

The free community event welcomed locals to share an evening of festivities including food, a lantern walk, live music and winter songs along the Yarra River.

The River of Light Winter Festival took place at the Warburton Arts Centre, which had been decorated to fit the wintery theme.

The event was first created by Bear and Moon Productions in 2017 with the aim of showcasing Warburton’s beauty, while allowing the community to congregate and light up what can become a very insular winter.
