About the artists and work
Throughout the weekend, join artists Sarah Harris and Eyv Hardwick to create your own illuminated star, then carry it proudly in the festival procession. Come together with our performers as we move in unity toward the spectacular closing firework finale, lighting up the night as one constellation.
