Calgarians gathered in Victoria Park this past weekend for Night Light, a free festival celebrating contemporary light and media art. 

The event ran from Sept. 24 to 26 and featured interactive installations, projections and live performances across the neighbourhood. 

Artists transformed buildings, parks and public spaces into immersive art exhibits after dark. 

Now in its fourth year, Night Light has become an annual celebration of light, art and performance in downtown Calgary.
