2017

The first FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS Zagreb (“Festival Svjetla Zagreb”) was held in the Croatian capital from March 16 to 19.

Seven stations in the upper town of Gornji Grad became magnets for the whole family for four evenings. Curious residents and international guests strolled through the alleys and across the squares of the old town to admire the colorful illuminations.

The central theme of the light spectacle was the awakening of nature and spring, which had already arrived by this time.
Two special highlights of the four-day event were the laser show on Plato Gradec opposite the cathedral and the Proljetna bajka (German: Spring Fairy Tale) on Jesuit Square.
