LUMENAURA® Festival in Aurora, Illinois
The City of Aurora’s inaugural illuminated art experience will light areas of downtown Aurora throughout October 2024.
LUMENAURA® features immersive light-and-sound-based installations, magical projection mapping, interactive street art, dazzling live entertainment, a variety of food and beverage options, and more. Visitors are guided along a path throughout downtown Aurora while interacting with free and family-friendly art and sound displays that are unlike anything they have experienced!
LUMENAURA® Festival Weekend (October 11-13, 2024)
LUMENAURA Fest Weekend will brighten the lights, with a wide array of interactive and multi-sensory entertainment extending further throughout downtown Aurora. Attendees will travel through portals, feast their eyes on one-of-a-kind illuminated art, collaborate on artistic activities, and dance to music on the main stage. George Berlin and XO Immersive will paint buildings with large-scale projection art. Miguel Gonzalez and Liviu Pasare will bring custom art installations to life. Festivalgoers will be treated to the creative designs of Alec Rudek, Adam Molski, and Brittany Harthan. Even getting to the festival is fun – in custom-designed LUMENAURA Metra cars.
Inside Straight Productions has artfully curated a lineup of roving and tertiary entertainment to greet attendees with dancers, jugglers, musicians, and sideshow performers at every turn. Additionally, LUMENAURA Fest visitors can participate in scavenger hunts, light painting, virtual reality drone flights, and hidden portal discovery quests.
The Main Stage entertainment is equally illuminating, featuring some of Illinois's best musical acts.
