Chicago

The route is awash with all the colours of the rainbow.

A water-based floating floral lightwork. On the Tide is created from points of light floating in strands, moved and positioned by the natural movement of the water.

LED lighting strips shoot up and down the trunk of the tree creating moments of brightness and darkness in time to music.

Strings of neon cord stretch between the trees and overhead, creating geometric patterns in the dark.

The team behind the Contemporary Tree is Julian Luna, Matt Fries, and Boston Kassidy with help from their friends: Will Hill and Shaun Lide, engineers/advisors; Mark Flores, Eric DePan, Ruthie Ocean, and Chris Brodeur, fabrication and installation; and Justin Hughes, jack-of-all-trades.

This immersive, welcoming tunnel of warm light is equally spectacular when viewed from the inside or out. Inspired by arched church windows and appearing from a distance to be a single solid shape, the Winter Cathedral is illuminated by tens of thousands of LED light globes.

30 vintage chandeliers elegantly shine overhead.

A fun, festive installation of oversized candy, that brings back childhood memories of old-fashioned sweets.

Chicago's very own Fire Island. Candles and flame effect lamps cover the bank that heads down to the water and continue across the Lake to Horajima Island.

Lights move in patterns between the circle and surrounding landscape in this spectacular show.

Twelve super bright giant animated stars standing over 5m high shine brightly under the night sky.

Beams of light move and swirl in front of you as you walk through this large-scale arch which covers the path.
