Listed below are the installations making their debut in America and guaranteed to illuminate everyone’s holiday:Known only as the Will o’ the Wisps, a legion of mystifying, glowing entities haunt the night with a soft flicker. Their true form is never revealed – instead they glow discreetly, appearing just for a moment and disappearing again into the darkness.

A wild-growing and futuristic structure, Whole Hole transports those who enter into a wormhole, moving them faster than the speed of light. Hundreds of LED strips help spectators travel through time and space in this immersive encounter, beginning and ending with a movement towards light.

The Laser Garden, an ever-evolving experience, basks the audience in a blanket of endless green laser beams. A seemingly impenetrable web of light is broken apart by illusive shapes in the dark, illuminating trees and the ground in ways never before seen.

Vulture Festival is a pop culture spectacle where Vulture (the website, not the bird) comes to life right before your very eyes. Curated by our very own editors, it’s a weekend of live and in-person panels with some of your favorite stars and creators, where we can all obsess together over the culture we so love.
 
Curated by the editorial team, this year’s Vulture Festival includes everything from Halloween lookback with Jamie Lee Curtis, live podcast recordings with Sheryl Lee Ralph and Kumail Nanjiani, an acting class from Henry Winkler, a first look at White Lotus season 2 with Meghann Fahy, a poolside kiki with Bob the Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka O’Hara, a look at For All Mankind with Krys Marshall and Lev Gorna, a Hedwig and the Angry Inch anniversary celebration with John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask, and much more.
