FORT Cornwallis is going to be a fort of lights, arts and culture on Monday as Penang celebrates its 228th anniversary from 6pm to 10pm.

Thousands of LED lights will illuminate the fort walls while stunning models dressed in cultural costumes will roleplay the scene of days when the fort was built in 1786.
