The Brief:

The Hume Winter Lights Festival is a standout winter celebration in Melbourne’s north, attracting thousands for a night of colour, sound, and community.

In 2025, Broadmeadows Town Hall was once again set to be transformed into a glowing hub of creativity, featuring large-scale light projections, hands-on art installations, food trucks, and live music. Designed as a free, all-ages event, the festival brought locals together for an immersive and uplifting evening in the heart of winter.

The Collaboration:

To help bring the 2025 Hume Winter Lights Festival to life, Hume City Council, turned once again to the acta to lock in line up with an exciting mix of headline talent.

Event Coordinator at Hume City Council, Chelsea Guy, was focused on drawing a broad audience with a strong and engaging lineup for Broadmeadows Town Hall. Using acta, she explored a curated selection of artists and connected directly with their teams to make it happen. The result was a standout trio: Bag Raiders, Lastlings, and Divebar Youth, all known for their electric performances and crowd appeal.

acta handled everything from availability checks to contracts and logistics, streamlining the entire booking process and removing the usual back and forth. With that side taken care of, Chelsea was able to focus her energy on shaping a memorable festival experience for the Hume community.
