We look a little different and sound a little different – because we are! We’re dedicated to experimentation, creativity, and distinctiveness.

Are you a stargazer? Or just someone who likes pretty lights? Well, Stanley Park’s latest event might tick your boxes.
Astra Lumina is a new walk-though style outdoor experience aimed at taking you through the stories of the stars with a bedazzling light show and synchronised soundtrack.
Opening October 22 until December 31st, Astra Lumina is located right in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. The experience is advertised to all ages and is making its first appearance in Canada after successful runs in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle and Philadelphia where it saw over two million visitors enjoy the light-filled walk.
The experience takes visitors through a mile of the decorated pathways of Stanley Park, and has nine distinct themed areas: The Astra Archway, Falling Stars, Cosmic Choir, Starlight lanterns, Celestial Trail, Astral Genesis, Stellar Visions, Stardust Rays, and the Rise of The Stars.
The event is brought to life through unreal light displays, projections, fog effects, decorations, video mapping, and an original soundtrack. Astra Lumina Vancouver is estimated to take around an hour for guests to explore.
Are you interested in buying tickets? Well Astra Lumina has a few options. There’s a ticket booth on site, but it’s recommended to purchase online on the Fever app or Astra Lumina’s website. Adult tickets are listed on their website for about forty dollars each. It’s also easy to get to there as bus connections will take you directly to the Stanley Park loop where the experience is being hosted.
Although this is Astra Lumina’s first time in Canada it’s not for the minds that began it. Moment Factory, the company behind Astra Lumina is based in Montreal Canada. The Co-founders Dominic Audet and Sakchin Bessette originally met and shared their passion for light shows through Montreal’s vibrant rave scene. Now their company, Moment Factory, puts on a variety of experiences including concerts, outdoor walks, light shows, augmented games, heritage site experiences and more. Their goal is to use technology to blur the lines between the real and the imagined world to entertain.
My advice as someone who frequents similar self guided light tours like the VanDusen Garden Festival of Lights or the Capilano Suspension Bridge Canyon Lights Tour? Well, it’s all about finding the right people to go with. So, if you’re looking for a cozy fall date night –or a festive get together with friends Astra Lumina might be just right for you.
