The city says it is working with Waterloo Public Health in an effort to ensure proper public health and safety protocols are used.

He says the facilities will be interactive but non-contact, allowing for social distancing.

“This year’s LUMEN Lite artists have truly demonstrated their creativity and artistic talents by creating pieces that will make the community think of these spaces in new ways,” stated Mayor Dave Jaworsky.

“Producing LUMEN Lite allows us to support our talented artists and also create an opportunity for the community to come together in a safe outdoor environment.”

The annual festival of light, art and technology will take place in various venues from 6 pm-11pm throughout the city of Waterloo.

Residents who attend will be asked to move out after a stay of 15 minutes or less.
