Gardens are a bit forlorn this time of year. That’s when light shows arrive to provide color. Starting today (November 9, 2022) and running through January 8, 2023 (only Wednesdays through Sundays), an Immersive World of Magical Light installations comes to life at the LuminoCity Festival in Eisenhower Park, 1899 Park Boulevard, East Meadow, Nassau County, New York. “Pure Magic” is this year’s theme.

Using light and imagination, LuminoCity has transformed history into illuminating works of light and color display. Founder Xiaoyi Chen, who has been producing this festival since 2018, says “We are overjoyed that we have this partnership collaboration in place with Nassau County to deliver the largest LuminoCity festival we have ever held to date!”

Festival goers are invited to walk on a narrative walking journey with light-art installations through eight custom display sets. From Wildlife Safari, Dinosaur Adventures, Magic Kingdom, Alice’s Enchantment, Winter Wonderland, HolidayLAND, and more, this immersive outdoor event covers 17+ Acres of Long Island’s own historic Eisenhower Park.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said, “I am excited to host our first-ever Winter Festival with LuminoCity in Nassau County’s Eisenhower Park this winter. I invite all of our residents to bring their family and friends to enjoy this incredible light and art spectacular.”

In addition to the brilliant lights, there are food vendors and family entertainment like Mini Golf and Dinosaur Rides.
