Info

Enchanted City is a new annual Winter event, and for its inaugural year we’re inviting you to join us on a cosmic voyage to discover the science behind the stars, the beauty of the constellations, and the thrill of space exploration.

As you wander, you’ll encounter illuminated astronomers charting imaginary skies, sculptures twirling like satellites in orbit, and immersive installations celebrating the magic of the night stars. Once you’ve finished exploring, gather beneath the city stars to enjoy delicious food and festive drinks!

Powered by the creativity of regional, national, and international artists, Enchanted City will take everyone on a family-friendly journey to galaxies near and far. Don’t forget to look up — the universe is waiting for you!
