Thousands enjoyed watching the Tondoon Botanic Gardens light up in a kaleidoscope of colour during this year’s Luminous.
The event recently won the Tourism, Attraction and Events category at the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce & Industry Best in Business Awards, a feat which would not be possible without the hard work and support of many including those who attend the event.
After this year’s success we are busily working to bring the Gladstone Region something bigger and brighter in 2022.
The award-winning “Luminous” is a mesmerising visual event which features:
- Impressive lighting displays
- Illuminated art
- Live music
- Roving entertainment
- Workshops
- Children’s activities
- And more!

This year Luminous extended beyond Gladstone Tondoon Botanic Garden’s and in to Goondoon Street with Luminous- Heritage Trail.
The Heritage Trail ignited on Thursday, 15 July from 4pm with the Luminous- Ignite the Heritage launch event.
Old will met new as heritage buildings, Kullaroo House and the Old Gladstone Post Office and new buildings, GECC and the Library were lit up.
The family-friendly event was free to attend, with market stalls, food vendors, live entertainment and the lighting of the Heritage Trail.
Luminous- Heritage Trail remained lit the entire Luminous weekend from Thursday 15 July to Saturday 17 July.
This project was funded by the Australian Government through the Building Better Regions Fund.
Gladstone Regional Council was successful in receiving $75,000 in funding from the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF) Grant Agreement.
Council is committed to inclusivity and this year provided accessible viewing options by enabling visitors to take a break from the crowds at the Gardens and enjoy the Luminous Heritage Trail on Goondoon Street.
