Meet Peep, Pop, Zig, Bloop, Mmph and Oof. Each POP has its own colour, pattern and personality, from sunny and smiling to charmingly grumpy.

Dressed in candy stripes and polka dots, they stand watch over the square by day and transform after dark, glowing from within like giant night-lights. There's no right way to experience POPS! Wander among them, find the one that matches your mood, and take a photo with your favourite.

Get all the feels as you explore our latest art installation by Vesica. No rules, no instructions, just play!

This artwork is just the beginning. There’s plenty more to discover for curious young minds and their caregivers, with lots of FREE activities and experiences to enjoy throughout the festival. Explore them here.
