What began as a small spark has now grown into an event that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Each year, the festival adopts a theme that ties together the various light displays and installations. The themes often draw inspiration from Sharjah’s cultural heritage, the natural world, or the fusion of modernity and tradition.
The 14th edition of the Sharjah Light Festival will take place from 14 to 23 February 2025.
The festival blends creative and innovative light technology, artistic ingenuity, and exclusively composed music, featuring masterful illuminations projected onto iconic landmarks in Sharjah, extending beyond the city to the east coast towns of Dibba, Khor Fakkan, and Kalba, taking visitors on an extraordinary cultural journey.
Many of the light projections and interactive installations are poetic and inspired by local culture, traditions, and stories, while others incorporate nature, space, or modern art, all of which are both beautiful and thought-provoking.
With the announcement of 2025 as the Year of Community, the Sharjah Light Festival embraces the essence of unity and social connection with its dazzling theme: “Lights of Unity”.
Get ready for a breathtaking spectacle that brings us all together – one light at a time, and one experience at a time!
