Step Into the Magic of City Lights in East Village

As the holiday season nears, San Diego’s Quartyard is set to dazzle visitors with City Lights, an immersive visual experience blending light, sound, and urban culture. This highly anticipated event, running from December 6, 2024, to January 19, 2025, promises to transform the East Village into a realm of innovation and artistry.

Created by renowned visual artist Ben Guerrette, City Lights offers a 50-minute, multi-sensory journey that draws inspiration from the raw energy of city life and the nostalgic edge of 90s underground rave culture.

A Journey Through Vibrant Zones

Visitors to City Lights will explore six unique zones, each meticulously designed to reflect the essence of urban living. From bustling streets to serene corners, these spaces come alive through:

- LED sculptures and projection mapping

- Reactive video installations

- Laser-lit pathways

- Interactive displays where art transforms with a wave of the hand

Two zones feature choreographed light and sound performances, amplifying the immersive experience.

Ben Guerrette, the visionary behind City Lights, describes it as a place where “light, sound, and urban culture intersect in new ways.” His team of artists, technologists, and designers has created an event that embodies the rhythm of the city, celebrating its heartbeat from dusk to dawn.
