Lights On Stratford is bringing the popular Journey to the Stars exhibit back to the city this winter along with Lunar Lamp Posts, a new interactive light art installation.
"As one of the most popular light installations ever hosted at Lights On Stratford, we are excited to bring back the sun and planets to Tom Patterson Island, but this time we’re adding the spectacular Lunar Lamp Posts interactive light display, coming all the way from Australia,” said Zac Gribble, Executive Director, Destination Stratford and Festival Director of Lights On Stratford. “With the overhead and bridge lighting added to the mix, these elements will all combine to create Space Island. We can’t wait to welcome all travellers on the interstellar journey.”
The theme is Emergence, and festival organizers decided to focus on space exploration for the island location, the last stop along the Light Trail connecting Market Square to Patterson Island.
“Tom Patterson Island is such a special place. No matter the season, the island is a welcoming and cozy escape right in Stratford’s backyard,” said General Manager of Lights On Stratford Kaileigh Krysztofiak. “This winter our little escape over the bridge will have you travelling light-years, and we are over-the-moon excited to share it with you.”
Interactive displays will be up nightly Thursday through Sunday from 5-10 p.m. The 4th annual Lights On Stratford is free to the public and set to launch on Dec. 15 until Jan. 13.
