Throughout the course of the day, Commonwealth Park will feature an ample amount of things that might pique your interest. With a large collection of vibrant and fun multicultural performances, including Maori, Latin American, and eastern European celebrations, activities for the whole family and an opportunity to see fellow Canberrans share what they have worked on in arts workshops around the city through Enlighten Festival, such as Canberra in Poem. Commonwealth Park is bound to have an abundance of entertainment to enjoy throughout the day. Non-ticketed event. 11am to 8pm.

Of course, Monday will also feature some astonishing sights to see as Enlighten's Illuminations reach their final day of availability. Buildings such as Questacon, The National Gallery, The National Library and more will be taken over by projections that colour the city with vibrancy for the last time this Enlighten, so Monday might be the perfect time to see these exhibits.

Whether you are interested in the National Library's spotlight on the city's performing arts history, or the National Gallery's exhibit on the concept of icons, there will surely be something that captures your attention. Projections turn on from 8pm.
