Experience the Magic...Celebrate the Light!
LUMA is an award-winning arts and culture festival based in our hometown, Queenstown. Cranbury Court Apartments are a proud partner of the festival and the highly regarded, LUMA Southern Light Project, held on the Queens Birthday weekend each year.
LUMA takes place over four evenings featuring illuminated art, light sculptures, and family entertainment. LUMA has become one of Queenstown’s most popular and exciting events of the year! A family event not to be missed!
LUMA is about connecting people, illuminating beautiful Queenstown and bringing local and national artists into the Queenstown gardens for a magical show. It is a community event where local people can be proud of supporting and being part of together. The LUMA light project celebrates the beginning of Winter and inspires the community with the connection of art, technology, and design.

People from far and near gather to the Queenstown Alpine Woods to experience the magic and artwork from local and International artists. Creative minds work best in collaboration and LUMA work very closely with their creative partners and guest artists to put on a great show! Artists can make pieces specifically for LUMA, or modify existing work to suit the setting in the Queenstown gardens.
The project is governed by a not-for-profit charitable trust and is free for the public. Suitable for the whole family, the event is catered with hot drinks and warm food throughout the exhibit, but don’t forget to rug up!!
