Frankston's Christmas Festival of Lights

Lots of family friendly activities , entertainment, rides and food! Really nice way to begin the festive season -well done Frankston organisers, performers and volunteers!

Getting a bit crowded in recent years. Carnival rides are a bit tacky. Some reasonable food trucks and fireworks at the end.

Biggest Christmas Tree in Australia!!! (30 metre Norfolk Island Pine which is over 100 years old!!!

Great night for everyone. Our kids has a ball, plenty of activities for all ages.

We went to the Frankston Festival of Lights on Saturday. Thousands of people, food trucks, rides for the kids spread over several city blocks. There was a huge main stage with enormous pa repeated throughout the precinct of the festival. The sole entertainment apart from a choir was an endless series of fairly average solo singers performing to backing tracks. There were no bands to be seen anywhere. The crowd looked bored and the whole affair lacked vibe. There was no edge, no spirit, no entertainment setting the mood. Why no bands? Surely they didn't do it to save the few lousy bucks they pay musicians? If there was one street festival that needed about 20 bands playing, this was it. The whole thing looked like a giant school fete with no obvious point or theme to it. Without live music it has no life.

Good event. But really intended for nearby residents only since there's absolutely no parking so you'll need to walk or drive there so insanely early, you know hang around for 3-4 hours until it starts, to get a park.

Knowing the ride workers I wouldn't be in a hurry to trust all... Good food great ,,,weather,,sad what represents customer service on rides

Loved it! Went once when I was a teenager & was worried my memories were better than the actual experience. But, I was happily surprised to find that it was still just as fun, went with my partner & son & we all had a blast, going on rides, trying foods, buying showbags, watching the tree light up. Great memories made today. Excited to go another year.
