A new event is turning Toronto's waterfront into an illuminated wonderland, and you can explore giant installations that light up the night.

Nordic Lights is an attraction produced by the Harbourfront Centre and Fjord Studio, and it features six interactive artworks by Canadian and Nordic artists.

Beginning January 27, you can wander throughout the open-air gallery and explore the different installations, all of which are focused around sustainability.

You can see a glowing, LED-lit swing, a massive illuminated cube that reacts to your movements, and a video projected across the wall of the Power Plant.

There is also a radiant, doodle-shaped installation that flashes with colour.
