SPARK Ipswich Festival


Copy re-shared from ArtsHub.

SPARK Ipswich is an 11-day city-wide event celebrating the people, places, arts and culture of Ipswich. The 2023 program will deliver up a fresh program of light installations, projection, music, comedy, arts, exhibitions, culture, technology, collaboration and discussion will take over the City from 6-16 July.

There are returning favourites including ‘Little Day Out’ a contemporary music, arts and sustainability festival just for kids, ‘WOMI – World of Music Ipswich’, and the popular ‘deLight’ projections.

At night, gather your family and friends and explore vibrant ‘deLight’ projections full of life and colour, ‘pixel’, and ‘Inhabited Ipswich’ shopfront art installations, or ‘Follow the Light’ with landmark lighting installations.  Finish the night by exploring the live venue programming running in the CBD throughout SPARK at venues such as Ipswich Civic Centre and Banshees Bar and Art Space. 

During the day is your chance to explore your creative side with IMMERSE. Tulmur Place will transform into a playground of family friendly arts workshops, performances on the main stage and food trucks galore.

The festival will even hit the road! ‘SPARK on Tour’ takes an interactive, theatrical play-based music and literacy experience for 2–7-year-olds to Ipswich Libraries across the City.
