Join us this February at Dazzle! Devonport’s Festival of Light, Creativity and Heritage
Step into Dazzle – a free, four-night light festival that commemorates 200 years of Devonport and its exciting future. Illuminating Devonport in new ways, Dazzle will transform heritage buildings and public spaces with stunning projections, immersive art, and interactive activities inspired by the area’s rich history, including the dazzle camouflage first developed right here in Devonport.
What to expect:
Projection mapping inspired by Devonport’s dazzle camouflage and rich heritage, bringing the past to life
Interactive light installations and immersive performances for all ages
360-degree immersive experiences at the Market Hall dome – the first-of-its-kind in Europe!
Stories, exhibitions, poems, and memories created by the youngest and oldest people of Devonport, capturing their reflections on the past and their hopes for the future
Roaming performance, local food vendors and more dazzling surprises!
Dazzle is a free event, open to all. Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or as a couple, Dazzle offers something for everyone.
Join us to explore Devonport’s past, celebrate its vibrant present, and look forward to its exciting future.
