Imagine a waterway transformed into a realm of fire, light and dreamlike wonder – that's the magic they're bringing to Hillarys Boat Harbour with Acqua Forte Parade. This isn't your typical parade that simply passes by. They're staging a spectacular sensory immersion, where 12 mesmerising moving figures glide across the water like mirages born from the elements themselves. Picture this: mysterious riders atop strange camel-horses, a magnificent dragon and its fearless tamer, fire-bearing scouts lighting the way, ethereal Muses of fire and water, a dreamer floating in her giant bed, otherworldly elven creatures, and a king accompanied by his devoted fool – plus a floating car with two intrepid passengers, along with 2 exclusively designed props created especially for Joondalup Festival. From both ends of the 200-metre route, fantastical beings emerge, lighting 20 floating fire pots anchored along the harbour's edge. As darkness falls, watch the water come alive with these larger-than-life characters straight out of legendary tales, interacting with each other and the elements in this kingdom of water, fire and music carried on the evening breeze. For four magical nights, Hillarys Boat Harbour becomes a stage for dreams, a canvas for imagination, and a reminder that wonder still exists in the world – you just need to know where to look.
