From 18 to 22 March 2026, Festival of Lights Zagreb welcomed spring with a night-time art route across the Upper and Lower Town.
The 2026 edition
For five evenings, Croatian and international artists activated streets, parks, squares, promenades and buildings. Light installations, large-scale projections, animation and interactive works brought contemporary creation into direct dialogue with Zagreb’s urban heritage.
Why this festival matters
The city itself becomes the exhibition space. Visitors shape their own route between works and encounter familiar places through light, design, architecture and visual technology.
Key points
- An urban art route across several central districts.
- Local and international works designed for public space.
- An accessible meeting between heritage and digital art.
