For the first time ever, New York City joins the prestigious and tiny list of cities including Berlin and London to have a bright and shining Festival of Lights. Head to DUMBO November 6–8 to the free New York Festival of Lights to witness curated light installations, illuminated sculptures and even wearable light technologies created by world renowned artists.

This year four artists's works have been selected to be featured in NYFOL. See the works of creative collective 3_Search in their map-inspired piece Initiations, that will project specific locations on the Manhattan Bridge Anchorage. Light designer Howard Ungerleider has worked with musicians like Rod Stewart and Van Helen and now his laser ight show will be free to see under the tunnel of the Manhattan Bridge. There will also be a piece created specifically for the visually impaired called The Eyeronman and work by "light magician" Tupac Martir called "Sound of Nature".
