Lumière Festival, Vancouver’s premier celebration of light, art, and community, announces its return for the upcoming winter season, from November 7 to 10, 2024. The popular annual festival promises to be an immersive experience with dazzling light installations and live performances throughout downtown Vancouver.
This year’s Lumière Festival is exclusively curated by Ana Valine – a local writer, director, and filmmaker. Highlights include a vibrant mix of artists from Europe, US, and Canada. Confirmed new locations this year include: Coal Harbour, featuring art installation Borealis, an immersive light and sound art piece by Swiss artist Dan Acher; and Translucens, a holographic projection on a curtain of water with an accompanying soundtrack, by Finnish artist Niko Tiainen.
“Art has the power to inspire, uplift, and bring people together—it reflects our community’s creativity and shared values and forms part of Vancouver’s cultural identity,” says Valine. “Lumière aims to transform the city’s urban landscape into a radiant canvas of light, redefining November as the start of the winter season with inspiration and connection.”
Lumière Festival Vancouver Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming winter through light, art, music, and dance. The free annual festival enriches public spaces by fostering community engagement and cultural experiences, breaking down barriers and connecting people across generations and cultures.
Proudly sponsored by Global BC.
