Lumière Festival
About the Lumière Festival: The Lumière Festival transforms Vancouver’s public plazas and iconic cultural spaces into luminous outdoor art galleries, celebrating light, creativity, and community during the winter season. Featuring small to large-scale light-based art installations, projections and performances across the West End, Gastown, and Downtown Vancouver, Lumière invites everyone to explore the city after dark and experience it in a whole new light.

The West End is shining bright with two festival hubs this year.
At Jim Deva Plaza, curated by The EggArts Society, visitors can experience DecaDance, a ten-sided mirrored pavilion with a spinning LED pole, plus much more including an interactive crafting station (Thursday to Saturday, 5:30–8pm).
At 1800 Davie Plaza, Melanie Lazelle of The Wilder Experience will transform the space into Memories of Colour, a glowing oceanscape celebrating the beauty of the sea and our connection to the living world.
