As we usher in the new year, I am thrilled to invite you to the third annual IGNITE Broward festival.
This free, five-day showcase of light, projection mapping and sound, takes place January 24 to 28 in Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach and is an extraordinary celebration of arts and culture spotlighting the creativity and innovation of artists from throughout the world.
Join us for the festival countdown at Esplanade Park on Wednesday, January 24 at 7PM, where you can dance to a live audiovisual show featuring projection art by Holly Danger and electronic music by Tapered Shapes. Throughout IGNITE’s run, you will also enjoy an array of workshops, lectures, poetry readings, and live performances, all thoughtfully curated for everyone to experience the power of immersive art.
IGNITE was started with a goal of uniting our community through large-scale art, and it has done just that. Last year this family-friendly festival welcomed over 30,000 visitors to Fort Lauderdale and Dania Beach.
IGNITE Broward 2024 is presented by Broward Cultural Division and is produced by Mad Arts.
