Illuminating Imaginations - Portland Winter Light Festival with Alisha Sullivan

Even the darkest winter nights can shine brightly. On this episode of Event Explorer, we head to Portland, Oregon, to explore the magic of the Portland Winter Light Festival. What began as a grassroots effort to light the city’s bridges has become a dazzling celebration of art, technology, and community, drawing nearly 200,000 visitors each year.

Join us as we talk to Alisha Sullivan, the festival’s Executive Director, about the origins of this glowing event, the artists behind its interactive and kinetic installations, and how light can transform urban spaces. We also explore how light festivals around the world—from Lyon, France, to Sydney, Australia—bring people together in unique and meaningful ways. Don’t miss this illuminating conversation!
