As Melbourne’s Firelight Festival prepares to illuminate the city, Lord Mayor Sally Capp has indicated the event will be more than just a spectacle of lights, but rather a beacon of hope for struggling businesses in the Docklands precinct.
The festival will run for three nights starting from June 28 and include a variety of music, installations and performances celebrating fire and light.
Speaking to SmartCompany, Mayor Capp acknowledged the resilience of Melbourne businesses, especially after the challenges posed by the pandemic.
“During Covid, we initiated the Business Concierge program to offer vital support to small business owners,” she told SmartCompany.
