Here's a look into the 2024 Global Illumination Celebration, we hope to see you for 2025!
Want to showcase your group in a big way?
Feedback from last year's procession showed that you want to see a wider range of cultures represented to really encompass that global feeling - and we agree!
That's why we’re offering a limited number of spaces for student groups, societies, and cohorts to work with professional artists and our team to design bespoke large props for the procession.
Talk to us here, if you have a idea, or just like the sound of representing your culture at this celebration!
