Visitors can expect projection-mapped architecture, light-art installations, music and other art works. Work will be scattered around the area, including at District Market, Trans Alta, BLVD Park and Central Memorial Park.
The event was created to give a platform to artists at all stages of their career.

The time of year is part of the inspiration behind the event.
“By embracing the autumnal equinox and celebrating the transition into longer nights, weāre taking the obscurity out of all things dark. We view night lights themselves as a source of wayfinding, so weāre here to do just that ā helping our patrons find their way to wonder, their way to fascination, their way to a new way of thinking,” reads the event’s website.
They hope to be able to expand the festival and make it even bigger next year!
