No FAM JAM Street Dance this week! Cone down and enjoy Illuminate! 

Ready for Illuminate? We’ve got answers to your biggest questions so you don’t miss a thing October 3–5!

✨ Parking: The City of Owensboro has two parking garages located at 100 Daviess Street and 215 Locust Street. It's $10 cash only. Additional surface parking will be available throughout downtown, operated by various groups at different rates. Pro tip: bring cash! (Free street parking is available outside the event space but fills quickly.)

✨Location: Illuminate stretches across all of downtown Owensboro. No gates. No tickets. Just come ready to explore.

✨ Time: The event will go from 6:30-10:00 p.m. LuminiMax (sponsored by Big Rivers and Kenergy) is the only installation open beyond the event times (Friday - 2:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m., Sat. & Sun. -1:00-10:00 p.m.) The drone show will take the skies every night at 7:15 & 9:30 p.m.

✨ Interactive Map: Find every installation, performance, food truck, restroom, and more on our interactive map at illuminateowensboro.com.

✨ Performing Arts: The Owensboro Symphony Stroll will take place Friday night. Stroll through downtown and catch different sections of the Owensboro Symphony performing under glowing lights, then experience the candlelight symphony each night inside the RiverPark Center. Saturday and Sunday bring the high-energy dancers of Musick Studios popping up every 15 minutes from 7:15- 8:45 p.m., and on Saturday night at 9:15, you can be part of Owensboro’s biggest flash mob at McConnell Plaza!

✨ Installations: You won't want to miss a single installation. Head to our website and click the installations tab to make sure you see them all!

✨ Food: Add dinner to your Illuminate plans. From the many downtown restaurants to food trucks, there is no shortage of options!

✨ Merch: Grab an Illuminate tee and glow necklace at the merch table located near the Owensboro Convention Center.
