This event will engage with the local community with young people from Comhairle na Nóg taking part in the procession. LUXE have made trailblazing Landscape Spectacles across Ireland and Internationally for 14 years and more. They present processional work ranging from intimate voyages, to large scale illuminated spectacle, bringing fire to places where the land, sea and sky meet. Working outdoors, often with community, LUXE draw on a dedicated group of international performers, musicians and artists to bring alive their visual world. LUXE’s amazing performers will spread light and fire around the square amongst the massed crowd and the public will be encouraged to join in with their own lanterns to walk to a fiery finale
