Ms Lang said she was looking forward to Luminite, the lights trail through Government Gardens. The public can get involved with Luminite by making lanterns at the workshops on Tutanekai St. These workshops are over five weeks - all the lanterns made will be displayed at Luminite on July 26.
On Thursday, July 18, there will be a Mid-Winter Christmas at the Night Market where there will be specialty foods and a massive community Christmas table to sit at and enjoy the feast with entertainment. People can donate their old warm clothes and canned food to the community Christmas tree, which will be given to a local charity at the end of the night.
On Saturday July 20 there will be an outdoor screening of Ice Age 4 at the Village Green. Families can bring seats and watch the movie and there will be half-time entertainment and food available.
Ms Lang said she was most looking forward to Luminite, which starts at 6pm on July 26. The lights trail will weave through the Government Gardens and at 9pm there will be a fireworks and laser show.
"There are so many different things going on - people can walk around the Government Gardens, watch a shadow puppet show and have stiltwalkers and unicyclists go by.
"I can't wait to stand back and watch people enjoy it."
