✨ The Main Event: Feilding in Lights

Arriving in Feilding, passengers will have a generous 4 hours to soak in the atmosphere. Explore the town’s heritage, its shops, cafes, and visit Feilding and Districts Steam Rail to ride their Lights Train.

As the sun sets, join the public for the spectacular public launch of Feilding in Lights, in the Town Square featuring the lighting of the Clock Tower, fireworks, live entertainment, display of the Community Light Project and the Tractor Light Parade.
