Background Research Edinburgh Lumiere is open to all who want to go on an adventure. For those willing to let their curiosity lead them through the inner workings of Edinburgh and allow their imagination to have control then this festival will awaken their senses.

The concept behind using “Alice and Wonderland” was inspired by the quote said by Alice “If I had a world of my own, everything would be full of nonsense.” The quote became inspiring as it highlighted the idea of creating a new world filled with weird and wonderful things and it being accepted. Similar to what Edinburgh Lumiere is based on- creating something using the environment surrounding it and having people interact with the festival is allowing it to be accepted by the community.

The rationale behind the festival is to help bring people back to the Old Town of Edinburgh.

Throughout the year Edinburgh is filled with locals and tourists but during the months of January and February there is a dip in the multicultural events within the Edinburgh. The Lumiere festival is to attract people back to the Old Town of Edinburgh during these quiet months.
