“We’re so pleased that the new layout was so well embraced. The streets came alive with people criss-crossing the city to the various installation sites,” she said. She said the goal with widening the scope was “making the event accessible to a wider community, while still retaining the wonder and surprise” of the unique festival. Martin De Ruyter/Stuff Shuttlerock’s Digitised Genesis, the “slightly bonkers projections” on the Nelson Evening Mail Building, proved to be a highlight for many in the newly expanded Te Ramaroa light festival. “Te Ramaroa is a magical festival, and we’re incredibly grateful to all our sponsors and Luminaries whose support means we can present such a large-scale event, free to everyone. Our thanks go to everyone who made Te Ramaroa 2021 such a marvellous success.”
