February 24, 2020 – The Zagreb Festival of Lights will be held for the fourth time, from March 18-22, 2020.
The Zagreb Festival of Lights will hold its fourth edition this year, featuring a romantic display of light installations along the streets of the Upper Town, new locations, and exciting features.
The Zagreb Light Festival, which has won over Zagreb residents and visitors with colorful installations over the past three years, will be held this year from March 18 to 22, 2020.
The Festival of Lights is a radiant way to welcome spring in the Croatian capital and is an event that many locals and tourists mark on their calendars to ensure they don’t miss a beat.
Along with the projections, audiovisual installations and other events on the fronts of buildings, streets and green spaces of the historic Upper Town, this year will boast new locations, with a vibrant palette of colors, amenities and an always energetic atmosphere.
Four years ago, the Croatian capital joined a number of international cities such as Lyon, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Prague, St. Petersburg. Petersburg and Berlin.
The 3rd edition last year brought many attractive audiovisual installations and projections in 20 locations around the historical center of Zagreb.
“The festival was held for the first time in 2017 when it had only seven locations in the Upper Town. Already then, we were recognized by the international association of the Festival of Lights based in Berlin, and they put us in their programs. We are pleased to promote Zagreb as a city and Croatia as a country that has a respectable Festival of Lights,” stressed Martina Bienenfeld, director of the Tourist Board of Zagreb, last year.
A special feature of last year was that three installations came from China, which were used to celebrate 2019 as the year of tourism and culture between Croatia and the People’s Republic of China.
The festival was also extended to last one day longer last year, totaling to four days. According to data from the Zagreb Tourist Board, 28% more arrivals and 44% more overnight stays were recorded during the 2018 Festival of Lights, as guests named the event as their exclusive motivation for visiting.
All information about the locations and this year’s Festival program can be found on the official website of the Festival.
