Through artistic light displays, the festival sheds light on tourist landmarks and architectural structures that narrate stories about the cultural heritage of the emirate, bridging the past, present, and future.
More than 15 international artists from 8 foreign countries participated in the festival, presenting light art installations that illuminate 12 tourist, cultural, and entertainment landmarks in the emirate. The displays included animated light shows, featuring prominent cultural and natural landmarks in the emirate. This year, three new sites were added: Sharjah Police General Headquarters, Souq Al Hamriyah, and Kalba Waterfront.
