Illumination NYC @ World Trade Center Oculus

Illumination NYC is New York's premier light art festival. We empower established & emerging artists to create wonderous works of light-based art installations for all New Yorkers to enjoy. Projection mapping, interactive pieces, live performances and so much more await you in lower Manhattan this May.

The free festival takes place across two zones this year both at The World Trade Center (WTC) Oculus & Belvedere Plaza, Battery Park City.

The WTC Oculus piece runs on a loop from:

Thursday, May 2 @ 8pm-11:00pm ET

Friday, May 3 @ 8pm-11:00pm ET

Saturday, May 4 @ 8pm-11:00pm ET

Appropriate for all ages.

We invite all light lovers to gather and immerse yourselves in the best Illumination yet. Bring your most creative light gear or stop by our Light Shop to get lit and hit the dance floor to join the fun.

When you are done viewing this piece head to Belvedere Plaza, Battery Park City for the second component of the festival!

Belvedere Plaza includes 14+ installations, a full stage, performers & more!
