Follow the light into the spring - FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS ZAGREB

From March 16th till March 19th, the capital of Croatia will host for the first time the Festival of Lights Zagreb.

With the support of the City of Zagreb and in organization by the Zagreb Tourist Board, the historic center will be illuminated with the cutting-edge lighting solutions based on very recent lighting technologies.

Festival of Lights Zagreb is the first festival of its kind in our city, and attractive audio-visual installations and projections will come to life at seven locations: Vranyczany Plateau, plateau Gradec, Jesuit Square, Gallery Klovićevi dvori, Lotrščak Tower, tunnel Grič and Tomićeva Street. The theme of the festival is the spring that symbolizes the awakening, growth and renaissance, therefore each of the locations will try to evoke the springtime through light performances that will be held from 7 to 11 pm, while tunnel Grič will be opened from 6 pm.

With the four-day festival, Zagreb will join the other world cities that have a tradition of holding such festivals, like Lyon, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Prague, St. Petersburg or Berlin. The intention is that the Festival of Lights Zagreb becomes a perennial tourist product with the aim of generating greater tourist traffic at this time of year.

Along with ZTB, in charge of the program production is company Lumigea Ltd. Entry to all events is free, and more information is available at: https://old.infozagreb.hr/festival-of-lights-zagreb .
