The Department of Illumination

Picton

Experience/Attraction, Arts, Family Friendly, French Speaking

The Department of Illumination was founded in 2013 by a group of artists in Prince Edward County, Ontario, who came together to create the Firelight Lantern Festival, and we’ve been lighting up the County ever since! We aim to bring joy and creativity to our community by producing festivals, workshops, and other artistic events.

Our company of artists weaves creativity into the fabric of our community, bringing people together for shared experiences of wonder and beauty. We strive to be a cultural leader, demonstrating excellence and innovation in rural arts.

The Department of Illumination is a registered not-for-profit organization.
