Wallace Park set to sparkle as Twilight Nights return to Lisburn
Autumn is just around the corner, and with it returns a spectacular event set to transform Lisburn’s Wallace Park into a mesmerising wonderland.
Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is once again presenting its ever-popular Twilight Nights, promising a dazzling spectacle for all.
This year’s event offers two distinct evenings, each carefully curated to provide a unique and enchanting experience for the whole family.
On Wednesday October 21, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm, the Relaxed Twilight Night offers a truly accessible and inclusive experience.
Designed especially for families with young children or anyone sensitive to noise and crowds, this evening is a gentle, illuminated journey.
Guests can wander an enchanting trail where friendly characters and soft music create a serene atmosphere.
The night also features face painting, a silent disco and a dedicated Sensory Bus.
To maintain this tranquil environment, the evening will be free of fireworks, strobe lighting and lasers.
The spectacle continues on Thursday October 22, from 7pm to 9pm, with the main Twilight Night.
This is an evening of high energy and pure excitement, beginning with a mesmerising lantern parade.
Local schools and community groups come together to create a vibrant tapestry of light, all moving to the pulsating sounds of renowned drummers SPARK!
The trail itself in Wallace Park is a feast for the senses, culminating in a superb fireworks finale and laser show.
An Artisan Food Village will offer a delicious selection of local treats for the whole family to enjoy.
Councillor Sharon Lowry, Chair of the Communities and Wellbeing Committee for Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, commented: “Twilight Nights is an enchanting experience enjoyed by many families.
"I am looking forward to seeing the transformation of Wallace Park into a theatrical wonderland that will dazzle and delight.
“I would encourage anyone planning to attend to add to the twilight sparkle by wearing fancy dress or neon glow sticks.”
