As the sun sets, Ripple Fest transforms into a dazzling celebration of light, movement, and performance!

Projections on the Factory
The evening begins with mesmerizing projections illuminating the factory, casting stunning visuals that can be viewed from the end of Moore Street. A moment to pause, take in the spectacle, and set the stage for the night ahead.

The Ripple Parade
From here, the energy spills onto the streets! A lively, ragtag procession of puppets, stilt walkers, dazzling costumes, and surprises will make its way along the footpath of Gillies Street, before crossing into MacKay Street and heading towards the Rochester Shire Hall. Expect the unexpected, this is a parade like no other!

Make sure you come dressed to party!
