The LuminoCity Festival is a wonderland of lights. The art and extra activities such as live performances, food, and workshops are open to everyone. We invite people of all ages to come and enjoy the festival. Please Note: We are an outdoor winter festival that takes place during the evening.
LuminoCity has installed new and stable flooring on 12/05 to ensure we are accessible and safe. We do not offer equipment at the festival. Handicap persons do not get express check-in, only VIP ticket holders receive express check in.
The three parks span a total of 12-acres. We estimate it will take 1 hour to fully enjoy the three parks! Last call for entrance is 10pm as we officially close each night at 11pm
LuminoCity has partnered with a wide variety of NYC food truck vendors for warm food, as well as for some delicious holiday treats in our warming tent.

Lumi is the mascot for the LuminoCity Festival. He is a being from another universe, created from the Unicorn’s horn. He has ended up in NYC with no recollection of his past and is drawn to the LuminoCity festival lights. There he, along with some small companions, will help guide you through the interactive experience that is the LuminoCity 2019 Holiday Festival.

The individual names on tickets do not matter as we do not ID check GA. IDs are only needed for student and senior ticket holders. Especially if you are checking in as a group, the individual names will not matter.
The festival is open from 4pm to 11pm. Our last entry time is 10pm - when our gates close.
We are a rain or shine event! Our sculptures are built for withstanding some weather. We monitor the weather closely with the city and NYPD to ensure what the best plan of action is on severe weather days. If we close, we will send a message through the Universe system, an email blast, post on socials, as well as update our website. In the case of closing, we will offer all ticket holders on that day either a refund on their tickets or a change of date so they can still attend the festival.
Unfortunately, we cannot add a new person to an existing order. However, you can buy new tickets from our ticket calendar here. If your ticket time and their ticket time is not the same, no worries! The times are just to help regulate attendance and manage wait times. You’re free to come any time you wish and you will be able to get in. Be aware there may be a wait during peak times and busy days!
For students who have to show ID, we accept all forms of proof whether it be a student ID, email address, metro card, etc. The school- level location does not matter, as long as it is an institution!
For those that have purchased tickets before the time slots were introduced, you are welcome to come at any time you originally planned to. The time slots are to help regulate the flow of people purchasing tickets now. You do not need to switch your ticket time to a slot if you have already gotten tickets.
Yes, we are stroller friendly, but we do ask it is a reasonable size and not too large as to keep the paths clear just in case of emergency! We do not provide stroller checking at the festival.
The difference between regular nights and themed nights are the performances and encouraged dress code! For themed nights we will curate specific performances and music to help create the vibe while also encouraging visitors to participate by dressing to the theme! As for the other nights, we will still have live performances but they will be general performers from around NYC. The three light-art parks, holiday market, and workshops will be available all nights we are open!
We are excited you want to be a part of the LuminoCity Festival! For all press inquiries, please contact our PR firm at luminocity@amp3pr.com.
