Director of Akadi Lumina, Francois Emond, says the experience is meant to evoke an emotional connection in visitors.
"It’s an emotion that you want to transfer to people," Emond explains. "There’s resiliency. Acadians are known to be resilient. They’re welcoming. They like to laugh and have fun. So they’re people who have big hearts and family traditions; the family is really important, so we just want people to get to know better what l'Acadie is. For the Acadians, we want them to be able to recognize themselves and feel proud of being Acadian."

Emond highlights that exploring the trail post-rainfall or during foggy evenings enhances the spectacle, as the light dances in captivating ways.
The immersive show runs until mid-October, illuminating the path from Wednesday to Sunday nights. Secure your tickets on the Akadi Lumina website for an unforgettable experience.
