The epic and imaginary light show features more than 20 million LED bulbs through 13 magical worlds across a 600,000-sq-ft site!
After raising its White Big Top throughout the Greater Toronto area with its shows Cavalia and Odysséo over the last decade, the creators of Cavalia are ecstatic to return, this time not with their four-legged stars – but instead, with millions and millions of lights! Today, Cavalia announces its new project that will light up the Mississauga night sky with its latest masterful production, illumi – A Dazzling World of Lights. The extraordinary light show is the first of its kind in the Toronto market and the largest light, sound, and multimedia show in the world.
Kids and adults alike will be captivated as they embark on a spectacular outdoor journey on foot through 13 magical worlds across a 600,000-sq-ft site (equivalent to ten football fields!) located near the intersection of 407 and Hurontario Street. Brought to life by cutting-edge programming technologies, the immersive illumi universe features high-definition projections, jaw-dropping, state-of-the-art animatronic creatures, thousands of light structures, and over 20 million brilliant LED bulbs.
illumi offers an epic and imaginative journey around the world. Visitors travel along a spectacular route into impressive universes, like The Infinite Poles, a frozen landscape in which penguins mix with whales, and igloos inhabit an infinite forest of stalagmites. In The Multicoloured Savanna, visitors witness the only place on Earth where they can enjoy a safari of lights with the planet’s most majestic animals. And, The Cavalia Horses, a colossal herd of 200 equines, inspired by Cavalia’s white horses, provides guests with an epic, magical ride surrounded by beauty, mystery, majesty, and horsepower.
llumi is designed to provide visitors with a once-in-a-lifetime feeling that places them in the centre of unique, grandiose, and enchanting settings, while also being carried away by the soundtracks of each space. These never-before-seen installations with original imagery, breathtaking sceneries, and technological displays are widespread throughout the grounds, meaning visitors will have no shortage of photography and videography opportunities. By far, illumi is the most Instagrammable event, with endless possibilities to share breathtaking experiences with friends and family on social media and beyond. Visitors can expect to be transported into dazzling, imaginative, and original concepts complete with millions and millions of lights.
The inventive and surprising concepts of illumi will also feature seasonal changes, including Halloween and holiday displays, drawing guests back for multiple experiences throughout the season.
