The Glow is a free community arts festival hosted by the City of Burien and developed and implemented by Burien city staff and community artists. 2026 will be the 19th year of the festival.
Building on the success of previous festivals, 2026 will feature a new collection of art including projection mapping on buildings, light-art installations, roving performers, spectacles, and hands-on experiences for people of all ages.
Thanks to everyone who applied. We will be reaching out to individual artists once the Jury has made final decisions. We’re really looking forward to seeing these great ideas out there on the streets in the fall.
Head to downtown Burien and discover light installations and performers, visit a fabulous night market and museum, find art in businesses, dine at local restaurants, and more!
We are currently evaluating applications, and will post details about this year’s Glow Artists as they become available. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for news about the line-up.
Help make the night festive by coming in costume and bringing your favorite lantern! Want to make a lantern at home? We have helpful tips on how to turn jars, balloons, and pie tins into whimsical lights.
