Whimsical Enchantment
Speaking at the launch, of this year’s festivities, Mayor Morrow said “Twilight Night by Fairy Light is a wonderful, whimsical attraction for families and visitors and a great way to draw our community together in celebration. I am looking forward to seeing Wallace park transformed into an enchanted wonderland and immersing myself into the fun of the evening. I am delighted that all proceeds from the wristband sales will benefit my Mayoral Charities, Corrymeela Community and Habitat for Humanity”.
The Mayor was joined at the launch by Alderman James Tinsley, Chair of Leisure & Community Development, Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, David Cunningham from Corrymeela, Jeannie McCannHabitat for Humanity and some fairy helpers.
Last year, Twilight Night by Fairy Light was recognised in the prestigious Families First Awards, as one of the events for which Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council received the accolade for ‘Best Family Entertainment by a Council.’
Alderman James Tinsley, is confident that this year’s event will build on that success. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to welcome thousands of visitors of all ages to Twilight Night by Fairy Light 2017. The event was born out of the council’s desire to create a safe, distinctive festivity, where we could celebrate as a community together, inspired by the unique, beautiful setting of Wallace Park.
It has become much more than that. Young and old alike, have taken Twilight Night by Fairy Light to their hearts. Even our local, autumnal weather can’t dampen the spirits of the thousands of people who attend. This year’s event will be just as thrilling.
One of my must see highlights for this year, will be SPARK, a troupe of mysterious high–impact drummers who will transform the park around them with their spectacular live music, movement and lighting effects and of course our finale fireworks display.”
