The Moama Lights event, renowned for its stunning visual displays and immersive light installations, featured a specially designed low-sensory session.
The session included modifications such as lowered lighting and adjusted sound levels to create a welcoming environment for individuals who might otherwise be unable to attend.

Vivid staff took on volunteer roles during the night, ensuring the event was accessible and enjoyable for all members of the community, including those with disabilities and sensory sensitivities.
“Supporting Murray River Council exemplifies our commitment to inclusivity and community engagement,’’ Vivid chief executive Scott Alexander said.
“By making thoughtful adjustments, we can offer a meaningful and enjoyable experience for everyone, no matter what their sensory needs may be.’’
The low-sensory session aimed to provide a comfortable and accommodating atmosphere for attendees of all ages who find traditional light and sound levels overwhelming.
Adjustments ensured that individuals with disability, particularly those with sensory sensitivities, could fully participate in and enjoy the magic of Moama Lights.
