The Lumière Festival’s artistic director, Scott Florence, has chosen the theme of Stories for this year’s Evening of Light Celebration, taking place in New Edinburgh Park, Saturday, August 18th, commencing at 5pm.
Live performances, alongside enchanting visual arts, will animate New Edinburgh Park all the while illuminated via candlelit lanterns alone. A family-friendly event, the Lumière Festival offers entertainment suitable for all ages. Among local artists returning this year are the Fire Weavers, A Company of Fools (performing Henry V), Gillian Kirkland, and Propeller Dance. Some of the new artists in this year’s lineup are the thrilling Gitana Georgia & Istvan Betyar (of The Blue Mushroom Sirkus Psyshow) and the hilarious Giant Seagulls (of Surreal McCoy Street Theatre Company).
The Ottawa Lumière Festival Evening of Light Celebration will take place August 18th beginning at 5pm. Volunteers are welcomed with open arms and are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. For more information and to volunteer please visit www.lumiereottawa.com.
