7–9 p.m. GLOW by Vessel 

GLOW, by Vessel, is a silent, participatory performance—a living lightscape that transforms the desert night into a dreamlike passage, where audiences drift through color, stillness, and wonder. This ephemeral encounter unfolds along the Marshall Way and Soleri Bridge corridor, transforming public space into a shimmering realm of subtle wonder and sensory reflection. Founded in 1996 by Rachel Bowditch in New York City and now based in Phoenix, Vessel is a theatre company devoted to creating performances as living poetry—where physical theatre, public art, dance, installation, and multimedia converge.
