For 17 days in June 2016 the Luminato Festival transformed the Hearn Generating Station in the Port Lands in Toronto into the largest temporary cultural and community centre in the world.. It was decommissioned in 1983 and apart from serving as a location for movie shoots, such as Robocop and Pacific Rim, has been closed to the public. During the Luminato Festival around 100,000 people visited the Hearn Generating Station and experienced large-scale exhibitions, theatre performances, classical, pop and electro concerts, club events, talks, parkour workout sessions, drag queen shows, a high end French bistro run by Canada´s top chefs in the former control room and no walls.
