Anakeesta is proud to introduce two exciting additions to the Astra Lumina night walk experience.
Nebular Waves, a new installation, invites visitors to observe what happens when stars dream as they discover ethereal and undulating waves of light that washes over them. This moment creates the enchanting sensation of floating in time and space. Additionally, the installation Astral Genesis has undergone enhancements and now has a new Astral feature illuminated by captivating light choreography, enhancing the overall immersive experience.
“We are so excited to improve the already amazing, Astra Lumina experience here at Anakeesta,” said Anakeesta President, Bryce Bentz, “the Anakeesta and Moment Factory teams have worked incredibly hard to really make this the most unique attraction in the Great Smoky Mountains.”
Astra Lumina at Anakeesta opened in October 2022 with eight initial chapters. Astra Lumina is the 15th Lumina Enchanted Night Walk experience and was the first in the United States.
“We are really feeling the energy from the city, ‘Astra Lumina’ is part of Anakeesta’s vision to continue to offer Gatlinburg unparalleled experiences and continue to raise the bar for attractions in Tennessee,” said Bob Bentz, Managing Partner of Anakeesta.
Work on the two new chapters was completed Feb. 29 and is open to the public today. Anakeesta is set to reopen full-time for the 2024 season on March 8.
