Preparations for tree lighting

Geelong based company Total Events is hard at work finalising the Sound and Light show for the arrival of the City’s famous floating Christmas tree.

A behind-the-scenes tour of the Total Events workshop in North Geelong has revealed sound and lighting engineers hard at work as we count down the days until Christmas.

Total Events has worked on the light and sound for the City’s Christmas centrepiece for the last six years.

The company is an events industry market leader and is well regarded – locally and nationally, working for other prominent organisations including the Geelong Football Club and the Geelong Supercats.

This year’s lighting program will be sequenced with soundtracks featuring a Christmas classic written by Louis Armstrong and a chart-topping disco and funk song.

The City thanks our Floating Christmas Tree sponsors, GeelongPort. The team at GeelongPort provides safe storage and assembly space for the tree every year so their assistance is essential.
