The West End will once again light up the dark winter nights with the return of Lumière for 2015.
The second annual holiday lighting event will see lighting installations set up at the end of November and remain in place until early January. From December 11-12, special Lumière activities will link Robson, Denman, and Davie streets, creating a free, fun and festive holiday event.
Attractions include live music and entertainment, a free festive hop-on, hop-off trolley tour, horse-drawn carriage rides, and a decorative lighting installation at the Hayward bandstand.
“2015 marks the second year of our Lumière Festival as well as a special year proclaimed by UNESCO as the International Year of Lights,” says Stéphane Mouttet, a founding director for the Lumière Festival Vancouver Society. “Together with our event partners, the West End BIA, the Illuminating Engineering Society and the Vancouver Pride Society, we look forward to celebrating the beauty of lights.
“Our hope is to grow this winter event into an annual tradition that will bring together communities and foster a sense of connectedness throughout the holiday season.”
