Saturday, Sept. 20: Lumins Festivus

Wright Park

By Volcano Staff on September 18, 2014

We don't have to win the Super Bowl to have a great parade. The Lumins Festivus, orchestrated by Adam Martin, should be a magical opportunity for the amateur and the professional photogs to grab incredible shots as it floats from Wright Park down and through Tacoma's Theater District Saturday night. Flex your photojournalism muscle as costumed folks march a winding path through the city, try your hand at an abstract camera toss using the lanterns as your light source, or test your skills in Instagram, Vine or video with ... just about anything. Thousands of people doing hundreds of things: illuminated dragons, illuminated butterflies, people on illuminated stilts, in illuminated make up, crazy illuminated hats, and women wearing red and white striped illuminated dresses and yellow illuminated wigs who stopped traffic - anything goes in this autumnal procession of lights in illuminated sea sculpture. Everywhere you look there will something to document, so you can't go wrong.

LUMINS FESTIVUS, 7-10 p.m., Wright Park, 316 S. G St., Tacoma, tacomasoutsiderguide.com
