Enlighten Hungry Ghost

Enlighten is an immersive light experience that transforms our Peace Park into a unique lightscape. With light displays throughout the garden and light projected on the Great Stupa, it is an exclusive opportunity to enjoy a starry evening after dark at the largest Buddhist stupa outside Asia.

Our next Enlighten celebrates Hungry Ghost Festival on Saturday 29th August 2026 – a traditional Buddhist festival in which people believe that the gates of the afterlife are thrown open and the deceased visit the living looking for food, entertainment and mischief. To appease them, people prepare food offerings and burn incense, to honor their ancestors. We’ll be celebrating with live music, delicious foods and entertainment for the whole family.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche has said “The Great Stupa will enlighten the world.”
