Project Update: Fibre Optic Symphonic Orchestra (FOSO) Opening Delayed

FOSO Site, Log Bridge Road, Wentworth – 2 March 2026

The opening of the Fibre Optic Symphonic Orchestra (FOSO) has been rescheduled to Friday 24 April 2026 following severe weather across the Wentworth and Mildura region.

Initially set to open for the 2026 Easter long weekend, the site has been heavily impacted by record rainfall in late February and early March. A deluge of approximately 250mm has resulted in boggy conditions and ground surface damage adjacent to the Perry Sandhills.

While the weather has impacted the construction programme, Bruce Munro’s Studio and supporting team are continuing to progress the installation of the 80 columns of light and complex fibre optic systems.

Key Information for Visitors

  • New Opening Date: Friday 24 April 2026.
  • Ticket Holders: Current ticket holders affected by the delay have been contacted.
  • Enquiries: All ticketing changes and refund enquiries are being processed by the Mildura Visitor Information Centre on (03) 5018 8380.
  • Easter Period: The Trail of Lights in Mildura remains open over the Easter period as a complementary experience.

Wentworth Shire Council and Mildura Rural City Council appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the long-term integrity of this world-class attraction. Read the full media release below.
