Downtown Raleigh shines every holiday season with Illuminate Art Walk presented by Cooperating Raleigh Colleges! 🌟
Since December 2020, Illuminate Art Walk has transformed downtown into a wonderland of art and color with large-scale, light-based installations—fun for people of all ages.
Each year, new and returning installations bring fresh excitement to the experience, encouraging visitors to explore downtown’s streets, plazas, and hidden corners in a whole new light.
Whether you’re planning a festive night out, a family stroll, or a date night adventure, Illuminate Art Walk offers the perfect backdrop for making holiday memories and discovering local art in the heart of North Carolina's Capital City.
