About 50,000 people went to the Lumino City Light Festival at the Wellington waterfront on Saturday.
Although Friday’s wet weather got in the way, about 50,000 people made their way to see lanterns light up the Wellington waterfront on Saturday evening.
The Lumino City lantern light festival featured 350 lanterns that spanned from Whairepo Lagoon to Waitangi Park– from a swarm of jellyfish to a five-storey colossal squid to a family of penguins taking a dive – alongside models parading in 60 inflatable light-up costumes and 50 food vendors.
