18 March 2019 – Zagreb’s historic center will be illuminated with cutting-edge lighting solutions based on the latest lighting technologies when the 3rd Festival of Lights takes place this week.
From March 20th till March 24th, the capital will host the Festival of Lights. The theme of this year’s festival is spring, which symbolises the awakening, growth and renaissance, and each of the locations will try to evoke the springtime through light performances that will be held from 6 to 11 pm during the festival at various locations.
