Toronto is about to get a little brighter this winter with the return of spectacular illuminated installations by Lumière: The Art of Light. Toronto’s Trillium Park will host a free outdoor exhibit, showcasing a number of unique light structures.

Running from Feb. 16 to March 27, 2026, Lumière: The Art of Light will take over the Ontario Place Park, lighting up the night sky from 6 to 11 p.m.

This year, the event celebrates the theme “Rhythms of Light: Motions, Sound, and Time,” displaying cold and imaginative works by talented Ontario-based artists. From intricate installations to immersive displays, the exhibition offers a chance to see how light can transform space, inspire creativity and create magical moments.
