The rather wonderful Jerusalem Light Festival returns to light up the Old City of Jerusalem in May-June 2016!
Lighting up for the 7th year, this eagerly anticipated festival is one of Israel’s most popular.
The festival itself will take place from May 25 – June 2 2016, and will once again feature incredible lighting installations, exhibits and tours.
Huge crowds are once again expected – estimates of over 250,000 visitors to the Old City over the week-long festival – as tourists and locals alike can enjoy the Old City event free of charge.
The festival is also now part of a prestigious list of light festivals around the world (Lyon, Glasgow, Lisbon and additional cities).
In this year’s festival, light artists from Israel and from abroad will present spectacular 3-D light exhibits, artistic sculptures and structures, massive light stars and impressive video mapping projections on the Old City’s buildings and walls. These features, combined with outdoors and onstage performances, light and sound, will be displayed at the picturesque alleyways, unique sites and central trails around the Old City of Jerusalem.
Enjoy different “trails of light” that will be spread across the quarters of the Old City, tracing a path between the light installations. In addition, watch out for a unique fair of light-body designers and colorful outdoor performances.
This festival is truly one for everyone – and it’s FREE for all!
