Moama Lights

Moama Lights is an immersive sound and light show highlighting natural assets throughout Horseshoe Lagoon extending through to the Murray River.

For the period of 8 May through to 20 May 2021, each night mesmerising light installations will transform Horseshoe Lagoon and tell the story of Echuca Moama through light and sound.

The walk will feature light installations and projections including theatrical fog, strobe and cutting edge moving light technology.

Come on a journey through a field of native flowers, ever changing display of spectacular colours, twinkling stars and floating leaves.

The show will feature Echuca Moama's indigenous history, our rich agricultural and river trade past and feature artwork celebrating our identity as twin towns-one community.
