Few events can herald a change in a destination’s mood like the Festival of Lights Zagreb, which returned in a sea of light to the Croatian capital for its seventh edition from March 19 to 23, 2025.

Visitors experienced the city like never before, as stunning light installations, animations, and projections breathed life and light into the streets, parks, and squares of the capital, as well as into the soul. Brighter days were here!

The festival’s growing international appeal was once more highlighted in the diverse range of installations, as renowned artists from Germany, Italy, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Slovakia joined local artists to showcase their work all over the city.

Festival of Lights Zagreb 2025 offered over 20 installations in total, including a select number returning to Gornji Grad (Upper Town), a popular location from earlier festivals.

Zagreb Festival of Lights – When the city becomes a stage of light.

Creative, imaginative, magical and sometimes quite unusual light installations created by local and foreign artists, including artists from Germany, Spain and Slovakia, have found their place throughout the city center and attracted a multitude of visitors from all over the world.

From 20 to 24 March 2024, Zagreb became a stage for spectacular light installations, projections and animations that brought the streets, parks, squares and other popular locations throughout the city to life. The Zagreb Festival of Lights, now in its sixth year, merged art, design, spectacle and architecture over five days in a way that delighted visitors of all generations.

In March 2023, the Croatian capital was once again transformed into a light spectacle with the Festival of Lights. Streets, squares, parks and landmarks became the scene of playful & impressive light installations from March 15-19.

The artistic productions let the city shine in a beautiful light. The familiar and ordinary became new and exciting thanks to the many visionary works of the artists.

The Festival of Lights in Zagreb was one of the first events to usher in the new tourist season.

One more reason to visit Zagreb!

At the beginning of spring in March 2022, the capital of Croatia was once again transformed into a light spectacle with the Festival of Lights. Streets, squares, parks and landmarks became the scene of playful & impressive light installations from March 16-20. The familiar and ordinary became new and exciting thanks to the artists* whose visions showed the city in a different light. Part art, part design, architecture and entertainment spectacle, the festival offered both beauty to behold and a new way of looking at the world. Scattered throughout the city center were 34 exciting works of light to discover. We are proud to have realized impressive projections as well as the 3D video mapping on the Nimara Museum.

In March, the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS took place in Zagreb for the second time. Using the most innovative technology, some of the most imposing buildings in the city were illuminated, familiar facades were immersed in new dimensions, spectacular light curtains and galleries under the stars were created.  FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS Zagreb took its guests into spring, the time of awakening, growth and rebirth, with fun, joy and a magical atmosphere.

Consisting of art, design, architecture and entertainment, the festival was a feast for the eyes on the one hand and evoked diverse thoughts and feelings in its visitors on the other.

The 2018 festival was awarded the Conventa Best Event Award in the B2C category as the best public event.
