New immersive light festival moves into Pullen Park
The LuminoCity Festival will be taking over Pullen Park in downtown Raleigh later this month.
Billed as a "light festival that aims to blur the lines between reality and virtuality through original storytelling and larger than life light art sculptures," LuminoCity also includes moving dinosaur sculptures and blooming Cherry Blossoms.
Note that while the Pullen Park Carousel will be open, it and the LuminoCity Dino Ride will require additional tickets.
General admission tickets are $25 for those over the age of 12. Children ages 3 to 12 years old are admitted for $18 each. Children under 3 years old are admitted for free. Ride tickets are $2. Tickets can be purchased in advance online.
The experience has been moving into Pullen Park over the past week and will open to the public on Feb. 18. The festival runs through April 9
The event is an evening experience running from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. nightly. The last entry will be at 9 p.m. and grounds.
