Organizers
The third edition of the only festival in the country for immersive light art installations will take place between 28 September and 12 October in Vrana Park, Sofia. Each night the entrance will be open for visitors from 20:00 to 23:30, and the installations will be turned off at 00:00.
SOFIA LIGHTS is an event that creates a very different reality – beautiful, soulful and in touch with nature. This magical reality, in which visitors can immerse themselves, helps us to briefly get away from the noisy and stressful everyday life. SOFIA LIGHTS is not a party or a festivity, it presents several large-scale artistic installations set in nature.
“What unites the individual installations is our desire to give our minds a break for a few hours. We live in times where we are an extension of the computer algorithms of the online universe. Screens dominate our existence and create illusions that make us forget about the beauty of the real world. Our installations will be a reason for people to experience the pleasure of living in reality again. To breathe, to feel presence, to be part of the whole. And at the same time to be focused inwards.”
The installations have no beginning and no end. Visitors can experience them in the same way, at whatever moment they come within the announced opening hours. Everyone can stroll the night park at their own pace and discover the magic in their own way.
Please read the Rules of Conduct carefully and familiarize yourself with the map.
