Lightscapes, an illumination and sculpture show, produced by Historic Hudson Valley has extended its run with the addition of the following 2016 dates: Friday-Sunday, June 3-5 and June 10-12. The event was originally scheduled to close on May 30.
The show returns for its third year to Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson with new features including a walk-through Bubble Tunnel, a "Shadow Dancing" wall and a huge 40-foot long centipede-like sculpture that visitors can walk under.
The walk-through experience also includes a musical soundscape courtesy of Phish collaborator and songwriter Steve Pollak, AKA “The Dude of Life,” and Charles de Saint Phalle. The show was created by the same team that produces The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze.
