River of Light begins on the Bow


For seven days, the Bow River will become a living art installation that maps the physical and social demands on our precious waterway that runs through the heart of our city.

UK-based Creatmosphere Studio will be using the latest lighting technology and colourful balloons that become illuminated at night in their artistic representation that focuses our attention on the intricacies and interdependencies of Bow River's life cycle and water sources.

The event, titled SOURCES and River of Light, includes a series of river-based installations along a 7.5km stretch of the Bow River from Edworthy Park to Prince's Island Park, August 14 - 21.

The pinnacle event takes place Aug. 21 at dusk with the release of 500, 80 cm balloons that will float down the Bow from Edworthy to Prince's Island, where they will float into the lagoon.
