Torrential rain and high winds did not deter more than 6500 people from attending the annual Hume Winter Lights Festival on June 17.
For the second year, the Broadmeadows town hall precinct was flooded with people from all over Victoria.
Hume mayor Joseph Haweil said the night was “world-class entertainment.”
“[It] rivals anything you would find around Australia,” he said.
“By turning out this year in droves, despite the less than ideal weather, it shows that people will travel from all over Victoria when we showcase Broadmeadows as the vibrant space that it is.”
The crowd remained full of revellers throughout the event, dancing along to major international acts The Potbelleez and DJ Havana Brown as the rain poured down.
The partying accompanied the light and art installations from local artists Lisa Buckland and Öznur Ateş to go with the fireworks finale.
