Downtown Providence's Festival of Lights
February 19th - March 5th, 2026
Downtown Providence will once again transform into a vibrant winter wonderland for the Lumina 2026 Festival. This year, we’re excited to feature Maestro, human-powered illuminated musical note sculptures, alongside the immersive Iceberg Trail, a grouped installation of glowing iceberg-inspired forms. We’re also bringing pop-culture photo moments to the streets with Taylor Swift’s World, and adding a bold nighttime centerpiece with Starlight, a set of illuminated star sculptures. We’re excited to build these new installations together and are actively seeking community sponsorships to bring them to life.
