Add this must-see free winter event to your list of things to do.
Redefining winter in Montreal through art and light, Lumino (formerly called Luminothérapie) is back for its 15th edition—illuminating city facades and lighting up the city like never before.
Transforming downtown Montreal into a dazzling celebration of light and creativity until March 9, 2025, Lumino turns the city into an immersive winter experience.

With all the fun free things to do this winter, this original urban experience celebrating light should be at the top of your Montreal bucket list.

Check out over 30 works including 14 outdoor installations, 11 indoor exhibits, and 7 video projections.

Standout installations like Éloge de l’air, Les Fabuloscopes, Lustres, and 1000 Visages will light up iconic locations.

Don’t miss Chaleur Humaine, Le Tunnel, and L’Orchestre Endormi, and video projections like Étrangement satisfaisant and Hyperobjects.

Plus, the debut of indoor exhibitions featuring Équilibre: Tensio, Vortex, and Cinétique.

Lumino also highlights emerging talent with student video projections and the immersive Exotopie experience in March.
