Festival of Lights to be held in Zagreb from 16 to 22 March

The Festival of Lights will take place in Zagreb on 16-22 March, offering 32 illuminated attractions at 31 locations in the Croatian capital city.

Presenting the festival's programme, the head of the Zagreb City Tourist Board, Martina Bienenfeld, said on Wednesday that this year's event would take place under slogans promoting unity, peace and hope.

In 2017 Zagreb’s very first Festival of Lights was a four-day celebration of spring that included experiencing a light harp and challenging visitors to win a prize in a unique laser maze.

The festival was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Birgit Zander, an artist from Berlin who took part in the preparation of this year's festival, told a news conference that Zagreb's scenery would be additionally embellished with illumination effects during the festival.
