See the inaugural lighting installation festival, Awakening, in the Rose of the North. Watch as Chiang Mai’s Chang Moi-Tha Pae creative quarters come alive with Polar-Rise-themed light installations and digital arts.

Chang Moi-Tha Pae, situated to the northeast of the city center along the banks of the Ping River, is one of the oldest trading areas, steeped in the 700-year history of Chiang Mai. The streets and alleys of this neighborhood act as veins and bloodlines, weaving through the lives of its residents and housing longstanding businesses and merchants.

Explore 17 art pieces at 13 locations, from Ratchawong Warehouse to Kitipanit, created by both local and international artists. The installations light up nightly from today (Nov 10) until Nov 19.
