The Not-to-Be-Missed Foresta Lumina: More Dazzling than Ever

Updated on Jul 17, 2018

Discover the new activities Foresta Lumina has prepared for you this year. It’s simply magical, I’m telling you!


Foresta Lumina Takes You All the Way to Downtown Coaticook

Foresta Lumina’s nocturnal pathway is back for a fifth year. The Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook along with Moment Factory’s multimedia enterprise never stop reinventing themselves! Each year, this not-to-be-missed event returns in full force and offers new, breathtaking activities. This summer, the internationally renowned pathway takes you all the way into town.

Last June 2, I attended the launching of an entirely new presentation. A magnificent set has been mounted in the heart of the town of Coaticook. Although quite impressive during the daytime, we must be patient to really grasp all the magic the structure has to offer.

As soon as darkness sets in, the set comes alive under our eyes and tells us a story. It’s the story of all the magical creatures of the enchanted forest. We can see fairies, the creature, and we can also feel the presence of the devil!

From the very first moment, I was charmed by the harmony of colours, the background music and the visual effects. A must for you to see in the town of Coaticook.


When Margaret Meets the Devil…

If you’re a regular of Foresta Lumina, you’ll notice that the path hides a new, thrilling activity. When I found myself midway through the pathway, I noticed there were several visitors sitting around a campfire, watching something quite attentively. I realized that I had just come upon the second novelty.

There was a big picture frame in front of me and at first it looked like a portrait of Margaret, the heroine at the centre of the story told throughout this special activity. After a few seconds, the picture came alive and told part of the story that I had yet to learn about. I witnessed the meeting between Margaret and the devil! It was both beautiful and frightening at the same time. The devil took on the appearance of a young man and was dancing with Margaret.

These two novelties carry us even further into the story of Foresta Lumina. We learn more about the magical characters that live in the forest. This not-to-be-missed event has us experience even more emotions this year! Hurry to catch a presentation!
