Ottawa Lumière Festival
| August 4, 2012 | to | August 18, 2012 |
Le franςais suivra
The Lumière Festival, presented each year by the CCCC , is a month of preparations for the magical
Evening of Light Celebration which will be held on August 18.
Through lantern-making and performance workshops, and community outreach initiatives
Lumière encourages people to come together and share their own creations and view the creations of others in a celebration of light and community.
The Lumière Evening of Light Celebration will enthrall you whether on your own, with friends or with family; a teen or a senior. From the lanterns on display, to the labyrinth, to the performers and music-all illuminated by only lantern and lamplight, Lumière will hold you in its spell. Come re-discover the night and the magic of light!
Le Festival de la lumière organisé par le Centre culturel et communautaire de Crichton encadre les préparatifs qui entourent la soirée Lumières en fête qui, cette année, aura lieu le 18 aout.
En organisant des ateliers sur la création de lanternes et sur les arts de la scène ainsi que des initiatives communautaires, le Festival de la lumière encourage les participants à se réunir et à partager leurs créations pour célébrer la lumière et leur collectivité.
Que vous soyez seul, en compagnie d’amis, en famille, adolescent ou aîné, la soirée Lumières en fête saura vous éblouir. Laissez-vous envoûter par les lanternes, le labyrinthe, les artistes et la musique à la lumière des bougies. Redécouvrez la nuit et la magie de la lumière.
