Deets: LuminoCity Festival, the stunning holiday spectacular of light sculptures, announced today its return to Randall’s Island Park in New York City from November 27th, 2020 - January 10th, 2021.
Presenting a brand new theme and never-before-seen art installations, LuminoCity will pop-up for 29 nights and offer visitors a unique opportunity to venture through a wonderland of fantastical ancient civilizations, lush luminated jungles, and mystical towering light art displays over 30ft. high. The immersive outdoor event will be a festive, socially-distanced, and timed-entry experience for guests of all ages.
The sparkling light park invites visitors on a 30-45 minute walking, narrative journey through five distinct sets, which bring to life chapters of an original story starring Lumi, a magical light bulb and the host of the festival. Guests will be transported to different dreamlike worlds through the Mysterious Forest, Dangerous Dunes, Forgotten Ruins, Hidden Land of Hria, and Mystical Moon Land, all while uncovering a beautiful tale of love, loss and life illustrated by the stunning installations.
In the “Pop Culture” area of the park, visitors will encounter 12 light sculptures of famous cat & dog influencers - including @smoothiethecat - reimagined as the 12 zodiac constellations which play a role in the overarching Lumi adventure story. In addition to wandering through 10 acres of the enchanting light park, festival-goers can visit the open-air Mini Gallery, which introduces the history and culture behind the lantern-making traditions that inspired the origin of LuminoCity, as well as a behind the scenes look at the light construction. The Lumi Gift Shop will offer an array of merchandise perfect for holiday gifts and take-home memories. The limited edition Lumi Night Light will be an extra special memento, as guests can carry a spark of light back with them after the event. Food trucks will be on-site and lined up to offer warm treats. The entire experience will be topped off with a glistening 26ft. tall Christmas Tree decked with bulbs, making the perfect backdrop for holiday photos and Instagram posts.
