For four days in London recently it seemed as if the city was being taken over by celestial beings from another planet. From Thursday to Monday a host of international artists showcased their illuminating creative artwork for free as part of the Lumiere Festival. Hosted by the charity Artichoke and the Mayor of London, it ran from 6.30pm to 10.30pm and attracted huge crowds. To give you an idea of what it was like, I’ve chosen my eight favourite images from Harper’s Bazaar. Has your home town or city recently hosted anything fun or different?

Fabulous shots!
I did look at quite a lot of different sites for the best ones. I’m glad you liked them.
I went to the Lumiere event too and had fun looking for all the artworks across London. I’ve just posted my pics on my blog 🙂
I’m glad you had such a great time 🙂
Fantastic!
I hope they’ll come back next year 🙂
Very awesome pics, cannot imagine how it looked in person!
A fantastic mix of colours. It covered 30 different locations but sure they can expand it more next year if they choose to do so 🙂
Truly neat, dear Alex. Best wishes to you. Aquileana 🌟.-
Thank you so much. And the same to you 🙂
Those pictures are so pretty! I’d love to go to something like this 🙂
I hope Amsterdam hosts it sometime soon 🙂
Just beautiful 🙂
I’m glad you liked it. It reminds you of hos spectacular creativity can be 🙂
Yes, for sure 🙂
Very nice. Lovely images, ambient and cheerful 🙂 ….yes the teeny, tiny town where I live recently hosted a small carnival.
Nice 🙂 Did it have a theme? Did you go?
Great shots, Alex 🙂
I’m glad they gave you a sense of what the event was like 🙂
I so wanted to go to this, but… BRRR! My co-worker did. She got some beautiful photos. So cool. 🙂
I want them to do it bigger and better next year and then you can go and share your awesome photos 🙂
I want them to do it in the summer. 😉
Because you don’t want to that long or to see how they incorporate natural light? haha
Lol. Or so I don’t freeze my ass off. They can do it at midnight! 😉
Haha!
I am so sad I missed this while I was in Berlin.
😦 Berlin is a great city though.
This looks amazing! Makes me want to run back over ASAP.
Please come back 🙂
Those pictures are awesome Alex.
I’m glad they gave you an idea of what it was like.
It looks super amazing.
