The seasonal celebration, now in its second year, features public
light-art installations throughout Georgetown
Georgetown GLOW—the popular holiday celebration featuring outdoor public light-art installations that invite visitors to “re-imagine the season of light,”—comes to a close on Sunday evening. In its second year, Georgetown GLOW has grown from a weekend-long celebration to a 10-day exhibition from December 11-20, with works lit from 6-10 p.m. nightly. Attendance to Georgetown GLOW, including access to all art installations, is FREE.
Five site-specific installations, commissioned by local, regional and international artists, are on view along and adjacent to the historic C&O Canal.
