Night Photo Walk at Illuminite Festival 2026 on Yonge Street (Tdot Shots Toronto Event)
Magical Photo Walk
In early March we met at College Park to check out the Illuminite art and light installations. It was a fun photo walk in the dark with the luminous art and usual bright and quirky neon of the downtown Yonge street strip.
As our third year group ventured from College Park to Yonge St and down to Sankofa Square at Dundas St. we marveled at the creative light installations and art work by the creators. All were impressive and a few were outright fun and really had that interactive vibe! Scroll for our photos!
Thanks to Downtown Yonge BIA and the contributing artists for hosting and inspiring us. 😊
