Canberra welcomes  “a first” as part of this week’s “Australia Day” celebrations.

The city’s first “Lights on the Lake” show is set to be the highlight of this week’s Australia Day celebrations in Canberra.

“Lights on the Lake” begins tonight (January 25) and runs until Saturday.

Each night, the 12-minute display will begin at 8.30pm, with two more displays running at 9pm and 9.30pm.

Organisors say, it’ll transform Lake Burley Griffin into a vibrant canvas with laser lights and colour – projected on to two enormous water screens, with a backing soundtrack.

Night markets will open at 5 each afternoon, featuring food, drinks and crafts.
