The Hills are alive with art, light, and music! Join us on Saturday, September 22, 2018 from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. in the Westhills Community in Langford, B.C. for the third annual Light Up the Hills lantern festival.
Light Up the Hills is a family-friendly outdoor festival of light presented by the West Shore Arts Council and Westhills. Held after dark, the festival features illuminated artworks that will create a spectacular glowing effect throughout the community. Event participants will walk along a designated path, passing by various performances and artworks, using hand-made lanterns to guide their way. This community-focused event aims to showcase the creativity of local artists, musicians, and performers!
