On Saturday, August 20, 2011, 8000+ people gathered in New Edinburgh Park for the Evening of Light Celebration which concluded the 20 days of the Lumière Festival! We are pleased that all of you were able to come this year and experience the magic of lights with us!

We would like to thank all those who made the Lumière Festival a success: the visual artists and the performers, the New Edinburgh community and all other communities around, and an extra special thank you to our hardworking volunteers. Thanks also to the people who made it all possible: the City of Ottawa, the Canadian Department of Heritage, the Community Foundation of Ottawa, the Crichton Cultural Community Centre, Ottawa Festivals, and all our sponsors, Janny and Jeff from Royal LePage Realtor, New Edinburgh Pub & Eatery, Jewel 98.5 FM, OttawaKiosk.com, GoodLife Fitness, PlaSmart Inc. Thank you as well to our four Vendors, Bongou, Havana Café and Catering, Stone Soup Foodworks and Vegetarian Treasures.

Since its inception in 2003, the Lumière Festival has seen a lot of change and explored the possibilities in the world of light. We look forward to seeing all of you next year and introducing you all to a new light!
