Illuminating Lexington!
January 11-29, 2025
We invite you to enjoy 2 weeks of illuminations along our Cultural District from East Lexington through to Worthen Rd., bookended by Chinese Lunar New Year & Lantern Festival celebrations.
A second projection mapping event with campfire and hot chocolate will be held as part of Lex Lux & MLK commemorations. Video projections will overview the history of the building and its people, including abolitionists + provide exciting AI and hand-drawn animations. Campfire & hot chocolate while supplies last!
Sunday, Jan. 19 • 4:30 - 6pm, 5pm video projections
Ellen Stone Building, 735 Mass. Ave. in East Lexington
Join us to bring light during the deep, dark time of winter & to celebrate our best and brightest 250th anniversary spirit!
Below you can find images of the buildings on the illumination tour, highlights from the kick-off party, and DIY instructions for making your own lantern.
