Downtown Providence will once again transform into a vibrant winter wonderland for the Lumina 2025 Festival. This year, we're thrilled to introduce POP! Installation and musical experiences by LeMounde Studios downtown, along with captivating performances. We're also inviting local artists to contribute public art centered around illumination. We're excited to build these new installations together and are actively seeking community sponsorships to bring them to life.
