Take a dive under the neon sea
ACROSS this weekend, Moyne Shire Council will host a free neon light display.
The display looks set to illuminate the night with vivid colours and fantastic fun.
From gracefully ‘swimming’ alongside the jellyfish, to playfully posing with a shark, Under the Neon Sea transports people to a vibrant underwater world.
The installations are made of LED neon flex, a safe material that can be touched and looks amazing in photos.
Developed by Australian visual artist Carla O’Brien, they have been seen at festivals and events around the world.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Ian Smith said the neon sea creatures were designed to capture the imagination and create an unforgettable experience for all.
“This will be a magical weekend for people of all ages to enjoy, with live music and face painting each night,” Cr Smith said.
“Maybe locals could have a holiday at home over the weekend, and take advantage of our stay three, pay two deal at the caravan parks and cabins.
“You can stay all weekend and still get to work on Monday.”
Under the Neon Sea will be held at Fiddlers Green in Port Fairy.
It can be seen tonight, Friday, August 16 (with free live music by Matt Sell); Saturday, August 17 (free music by Pyper and Dylan) and Sunday, August 18 (free music by Evie Mae).
There will also be free face painting each night from 5pm-8pm, with the neon lights display running from 5pm until 10pm.
