This annual event lights up Dunedin with magic.

We're very proud of the staff and students who get involved behind the scenes, and celebrate the ongoing collaboration between the School of Design and the Midwinter Carnival to get students working on real-world projects.
Tickets are $10 for adults, and $5 for children, and can be purchased in advance online.

🌧️✨WET WEATHER UPDATE ✨🌧️
The weather conditions are shaping up to be a little less than optimal.
A little rain may dampen things, but it won’t dampen our spirits!
🧥 Tonight is showing a little rain, so dress warm and don your raincoat!
🥾 We’d recommend wearing some good footwear too as with rain can come mud!
☂️ Please opt for a jacket vs an umbrella. Umbrellas can block views and pose a safety risk in crowds, and we want to keep the Carnival safe and enjoyable for everyone!
🥟 Grab your self some warming treats from the Night Market!
🍷 Mulled wine and warm spiced apple juice will be flowing!
