There is plenty to do at Ontario’s all-season resort every day, but if are searching for a reason to stay till the stars come out, then the illuminated night trail, called AGORA: Path of Light is back lighting up the hills until October end.
AGORA: Path of Light is an outdoor interactive night walk experience created by an incredible team across Canada showcasing the spirit of the forest and cycles of life in nature through the language of light and sound.
The experience begins when you take the open-air gondola ride to the top of the hill. From there, you will explore a lighted trail highlighting indigenous teachings and various aspects of the forests, such as keystone species from the mushrooms that dot the forest floor to the pack wolves that rule the woods.
The interactive light walk installation is based on the five elements of air, space, earth, water and fire.
Themed Armonia, this year’s interactive night walk experience delves deep into the intricate network of keystone species, from mushrooms forming the forest bed to wolves reigning in the woods.
The installation utilizes an impressive system of LED lights that criss-cross beneath a wooden boardwalk to mimic the mushroom root system and cast light on the lifelike wolves in the background, fostering a rich narrative centered around the forest’s heartbeat.
The realization of this project is the product of a collaborative endeavor involving some of the most esteemed professionals from various fields. The team, convened by Limbic Media from Victoria BC, leaders in interactive art and light technology, includes notables such as Edesia Moreno Barata, acclaimed for her contributions to Cirque du Soleil, and poet Marie Metaphor Specht, among others.
AGORA: Path of Light runs until October 29th. Admission is included in Play All Day or Play All Evening tickets.
