Zagreb is preparing for one of the most exciting events this spring – the Zagreb Festival of Lights!

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

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

The Zagreb Festival of Lights is more than just an event – it is an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of warmer and longer days together and to reconnect with the city in a unique way. Enjoy more than 25 light installations, explore new parts of the city included in this year’s program and experience Zagreb in a completely new light.

In collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), an international non-governmental organization working to conserve nature and reduce human impact on the environment, this year’s Festival pays special attention to the importance of conserving plant and animal life.

The main symbol of this year’s Festival is the forest cyclamen (Latin: Cyclamen purpurascens), an endangered spring flower, reminding us of the importance of protecting natural beauty and wild species, encouraging us to act to preserve these treasures for future generations. The Zagreb Festival of Lights will also show its support for highlighting the necessity and urgency of nature conservation by participating in the global event Earth Hour.

Join the Zagreb Festival of Lights and become part of this unique experience that will transport you into a world of imagination and enchantment.
