Lights on the Exchange – Allumez le Quartier will return for its second year from January 21 through March 21.

While drawing inspiration from festivals like Luminothérapie in Montréal and Fête des lumières in Lyon, the emphasis for Lights on the Exchange – Allumez le Quartier is on artistic expressions that tell histories that go beyond those regularly told in relationship to its heritage buildings.
