The Victorian Government and the City of Ballarat worked together to launch this new cultural event.
From the start, White Night Ballarat aimed to transform the city with light, art, and performances. Local artists and international creators were invited to participate.
The event quickly became a highlight on the city’s calendar, attracting large crowds eager to experience the stunning displays.
Each year, the event grew in popularity, reflecting Ballarat’s rich history and dynamic arts scene. It also provided a platform for artists to share their work with a broad audience.
