Mellor Hall at the Cowichan Exhibition will be hosting a stunning visual display full of lights and lasers over the holiday season.

Visitors can expect to see interactive installations, LED displays, laser tunnels, projection scenes, set design, and audio-works that have been perfectly aligned to inspire hope, awe, and wonder at the first annual Island Wonderland, which will run from Dec. 15 to Dec. 31.

Island Wonderland, produced by Graham Meckling and Michael Heid of Victoria-based Wonderland Productions Ltd., will be curated by multimedia artists from around British Columbia.

Meckling and Heid have been working on Island Wonderland for the last two years to support local charities and small business, and to bring a positive and unique experience to the Island.

Meckling said that with many of VictoriaB次元官网网址檚 favourite traditional holiday events and gatherings being cancelled this year due to the pandemic, he and Heid wanted to present a unique opportunity to bring a truly spectacular gift of hope and joy to the Island.
