The Illuminites Christmas Festival and Night Markets will once again captivate its visitors to a magical festive celebration on Friday, 13th December from 5:00 -10:00pm at the Perth Cultural Centre. This year's eye-catcher will be a giant six-metre walk-in snow dome. Presented by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority in collaboration with the On William Collective and as part of the summer season in the Perth Cultural Centre, the Illuminites Christmas Festival and Night Markets will be participated by over 70 hand-picked artisans, designers, vendors, vintage curators and seasonal live musicians. Christmas decorations with lights will illuminate your way to PICA, Polly, Pajecco and the PICA Bar, and a guiding Christmas star will lead your way to the festival.

Browse or shop around for gifts, fashion, homewares, stationery and accessories. Sample tasty festive fare from street food stalls. And of course, listen and enjoy the live music to be performed at the Wetland stage. Many music styles from funky Latin to soul will be played, including Christmas carols.
There will be pop up bars in the Urban Orchard so you can sit down and relax after your Christmas shopping spree. Christmas spirit will be in the air visualised with gorgeous video projections by VJ Zoo.
