Reef Lights, 2022

Cairns Festival, Australia

As part of the Cairns Festival, 26 August – 4 September 2022, Laservision transformed the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon and over 30,000m2 of Esplanade parkland into a virtual “under-the-sea” experience, immersing audiences in impressive light displays and kaleidoscopes of colour.

From floating holograms of sea turtles and jellyfish to beautiful pulsing bioluminescence and jellyfish gardens bathed in laser waves, Laservision’s incredible performance wow’d visitors drawn to the area in celebration of the Great Barrier Reef.

Festival highlights included the spectacular Reef Lights at the Esplanade, which depicted the magnificence of the Great Barrier Reef through light and laser installations”

The nightly water fountain show proved extremely popular, drawing over 100,000 spectators during the 10 consecutive nights of the festival.

Now in its third year in 2024, Reef Lights has become a must-see at Cairns Festival and is presented in partnership with Cairns Regional Council.
