Tips & Advice
- Plan a walking route that links šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square, 800 Robson Plaza, Jim Deva Plaza, Blood Alley Square and 1800 Davie Plaza, since the artworks are spread across them.
- Dress warmly for a November evening outdoors, because all the installations and performances are in open public plazas after dark.
- Watch for the live performances running alongside the light installations and projections at the festival sites.
- Leave a donation if you enjoy the night, because donations keep Lumière free and support more than 75 artists.
