Jason Makris, CEO Makris Group, says “The Umbrella light installation at Marina Pier elevates it’s winter evening atmosphere, enchanting the waterfront dining experience under the captivating
ambiance it creates.”
The Umbrella Lights display features 14 umbrella-shaped light displays with cool white lighting for the frame and glowing blue lights that fill in as colour.
