During its 2024-2025 edition, Montréal's dazzling winter light festival, Luminothérapie, stepped into an exciting new chapter as LUMINO, transforming the city's downtown core into an enchanting playground of light and artistic innovation, both in and out of doors.

A free, annual event that runs daily from dusk until 11 p.m., LUMINO has become a quintessential Montréal pastime, drawing visitors from around the world and showcasing the city's commitment to cutting edge public art that meets at the intersection of creativity and technology.
