Welcome
to the 9th annual
Luminara Victoria Community Lantern Festival!
Around the world and throughout time, the celebration
of light has been a rich and vibrant cultural tradition. Drawing on
this, Luminara Victoria adds its own contemporary flavour to produce
a magical festival that reflects the diverse community we live in
today.
On
Saturday, July 26th,
from
5pm until 11 pm
the
Inter-Cultural
Association of Greater Victoria
will light up St.
Ann's Academy and Beacon Hill Park
Handmade lanterns, candlelit installations,
elaborate costumes, musicians and performers will once again infuse
the landscape with a captivating blend of light and shadow, colour
and form.
Be
part of the spectacle. Come in costume - and carry a lantern! Or join
the hundreds of volunteers, artists and performers who make it happen
year after year.
Together,
we can create an unforgettable moment in Luminara history.
