ABOUT PROJECT PARTNERS
Zsolnay Light Festival (Pécs, HU)
The first and only light festival in Hungary, the Zsolnay Light Festival in Pécs, will once again light up the center of Pécs with dazzling light creations in the summer of 2022!
Between July 7 and 10, 2022, the buildings will be dressed in light and the streets will be carpeted in light, while the monumental facade of the cathedral will be brought to life by the best 3D moving projections of the international mapping competition.
The four-day festival is a truly unforgettable experience for families and groups of friends in the picturesque city center of Pécs with mapping and various accompanying programs.
Walking along the Pathway of Light through the center of Pécs, you can once again admire the grandiose, heart-wrenching and extravagant – and always incredibly spectacular site-specific light installations at around 30 locations.
The festival offers a unique combination of the world of light festivals, street art productions, concerts, theater and new circus performances.

Bella Skyway Festival (Toruń, PL)
The cultural map of Toruń was enriched by another event of a European dimension — the Bella Skyway Festival. A festival that is fresh, unique and reality-changing. A festival that breathes new life into the Gothic city walls of Toruń.
The festival has been held in Toruń since 2009, and its beginnings are connected with the candidacy for the European Capital of Culture 2016. The program of this event is based on three pillars: science, art, people.

White night (Bratislava / Košice, SK)
White Night is a prestigious international art project whose task is to bring contemporary art forms to the general public as well as non-traditional, unknown and important places in European capitals.
White Night was created in Paris in 2002. In 2013, more than two and a half million people visited it. Within a few years, the project spread from Paris to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Rome and many others, including Košice and Bratislava.
White night offers visitors an unconventional artistic walk through the night city full of experiences and new sensations, which lasts from sunset to sunrise. During one special weekend, night becomes day and the streets of the night city are filled with people and art.
Blik Blik (Pilsen, CZ)
The Festival of Light was created as part of the Pilsen 2015 – European Capital of Culture program.
Visitors are invited to take to the streets and explore known (or sometimes hidden and unknown) squares, buildings, courtyards and parks illuminated by various installations. Since then, it has been one of the most popular public events held in Pilsen, with an attendance of up to 50,000 people.
The next edition takes place on 25-26 March 2022.
