Lumière Festival Vancouver 2025

November 13 – 16, 2025 · 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM nightly
Free · Outdoor Light & Art Festival · West End · Downtown · Gastown

Celebrating 12 years of illuminated art in the heart of Vancouver, the Lumière Festival returns this November with a theme of Unity — bringing communities together through light, creativity, and shared experience.

This free, family-friendly winter festival transforms public plazas across the city into glowing outdoor galleries, featuring large-scale light installations, interactive artworks, movement-based sculpture, community craft stations, and immersive media environments.
