Discover the playable and interactive art installation, Impulse, in Schenley Plaza, then head into Oakland’s business districts to explore music, entertainment, vendors, games, and more!

Special events will include an illuminated kick-off party, Small Business Saturday celerbation, and a family-friendly closing weekend. Additionally, buildings, public spaces, and unexpected corners of Oakland will be brought to life by variations of light-based art. 

GLOWLAND will be anchored by Impulse, a playable art  installation that has drawn thousands of visitors in each of its international host cities, including New York City, London, Sydney, Toronto, and Montreal. Fifteen sound and light producing seesaws will transform Schenley Plaza into a playground for visitors of all ages to experience and enjoy.
