Astra Lumina: Magical Stanley Park Night out

​Stanley Park is getting lit up this fall and we are going to see it. Astra Lumina is an outdoor night walk through the forest where light installations, projections and a cosmic soundtrack turn the trail into a story about stars falling to earth and finding their way back to the sky.

​It is a walk, not a hike, so anyone can do it. Plenty of people come solo, and moving through something this unusual as a group makes it very easy to actually talk to people. Come on your own or bring a friend.

​Afterwards we are heading into downtown for food for anyone who wants to keep the night going.

​WHAT TO EXPECT

​A self-guided walk of about one mile through nine themed zones, roughly 45 to 60 minutes

​Large-scale light installations, 360-degree projections, video mapping and an original soundtrack

​Easy pace, no fitness level or experience needed

​Narrow, uneven dirt pathways on a natural hillside, so sturdy shoes matter

​Cool November night air in the park, so dress warm

​Food in downtown afterwards for anyone who is up for it
