Australia’s first inland settlement, Bathurst is this year celebrating its bicentenary with more than 100 events throughout the the year including the Winter Festival in July and special events for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 car race in October. Just 2.5 hours’ drive from Sydney, Bathurst is home to over 40,000 people, and is known for its university and car-racing on Mount Panorama.
Saturday 9 May will see Bathurst and the Central West come alight as part of the bicentenary celebrations with 'Illuminate Bathurst', a stunning series of light, image and digital story telling installations on our city's Court House and other landmark buildings as the canvas.
Bathurst's 200th birthday celebrations will see Kings Parade transformed into a vibrant night festival full of local food, wine, entertainment and the spectacular first ever outdoor illumination that will tell our history through lights, images and music on the Court House and other central buildings in the Town Square.
More than just lights, the Illuminate Bathurst Project will be narrative-driven and research intensive and involve close collaborations with research and historical collections and the Bathurst community.
