Creative lighting brightens up the night to raise awareness

Published on 12 January 2026

Did you know that Frankston shines a little brighter at night? Through our Creative Lighting Program, landmarks across the city are illuminated in vibrant colours to raise awareness and celebrate important causes.

Where to spot the lights

Frankston Arts Centre
Ballam Park fountain
Ballam Park
Beauty Park fountain
Frankston Pier
Gateway signage
Grimwade Clock
PARC tree
Wells Street planters

Some locations have limitations with their lighting technology, or certain colours may be restricted due to safety and environmental requirements. If you notice that a site looks a little different from the others, that’s why—it’s all part of keeping our lighting both safe and spectacular!
