This year, the stunning Napa Lighted Art Festival took place from January 11 to 19. 16 of Napa’s legendary buildings were uniquely illuminated. Friday’s Lantern Parade took the festival to a new level of connectedness in the love of lighted art. It was a wonderful, peaceful gathering for people from all over the world.

Once again, picturesque Napa shone in glorious light from January 12-20, 2019. During the 9-day festival, iconic architecture became a painting as part of a unique illuminated art walk. Original artwork by local and international artists was installed at approximately 16 locations in Downtown Napa, the Oxbow District and other locations throughout the city. The Napa Lighted Art Festival supported the innovative techniques using light and technologies as a cultural substrate and is a celebration of creative arts and light. Artworks exhibited at the 2018 Napa Lighted Art Festival included light art, video art, 3D video map projections, illuminated sculptures, and projects that use technology or interactivity.

For the first time, visitors enjoyed a spectacular new art event called the Napa Lighted Arts Festival. This lighted art walk illuminated the streets, buildings, and night sky of Napa as art sparkled in lights on nearby buildings and homes. Festival curators hoped the event would showcase the innovation of lighting technology and its role in today’s art scene.

The art festival included nine original artworks commissioned from individual artists and consisted of light installations displayed around Downtown Napa and the Oxbow District. Some of the featured artwork also included interactive music. The free, open-air festival took place December 9-17, 2017 and was a huge success!
