SEATTLE, WA (September 12, 2024) – Following a successful launch in Seattle in 2023, Astra Lumina returns to the Emerald City for its second year as part of Moment Factory’s awe-inspiring Lumina Enchanted Night Walk series. The multimedia production studio is once again teaming up with the leading live entertainment discovery platform, Fever, to present this unique and immersive installation at the Seattle Chinese Garden at South Seattle College. Part of a U.S. tour that has featured three seasons in Los Angeles, with more cities to be announced, Astra Lumina’s Seattle edition opens for night walks beginning on October 17.
Through projections, lighting, and music, visitors will encounter the illuminating wonder of the stars. The Seattle Chinese Garden will be transformed into an immersive outdoor, enchanted world that awakens the imagination, inviting stargazers of all ages on a nighttime journey through the botanical garden. Inside the experience, guests are guided on an illuminated nature pathway, with photo opportunities, gift shop, and food and beverage options available for purchase.
Astra Lumina, created by Moment Factory, welcomes you to an extraordinary place, a garden here on Earth that shares a special connection with the sky above. Come nightfall, the garden sets the stage for a phenomenal event: a visit from the stars. This stellar journey invites stargazers to set off across the garden’s celestial pathway to encounter the wonder of the stars and embrace their own human light. As the night unfolds, these luminous orbs regenerate, rise, and reunite in the night sky to shine brighter than ever before.
“Since 2014, we have created over 20 Lumina Enchanted Night Walks in a variety of outdoor venues. To date, Astra Lumina has been presented in 4 cities in the United States, demonstrating its universal appeal to a variety of audiences.” said Jonathan St-Onge, Executive Director at Moment Factory Originals. “This experience seeks to connect people to each other, to nature, and to the stars, and so we are thrilled to return once again to the Chinese Garden in Seattle, a unique and beautiful site.”
