La Festival of Lights in Lyon is the destination we suggest today for organizing the Immaculate Conception long weekend. In Lyon everything is ready for this new edition of the Festival of Lights, scheduled from December 8th to 11th with about 70 fully illuminated projects.
The official start of the Fête des Lumières is set for 6:00 PM on December 8th in Place Bellecour: here will take place the first exciting lighting in Lyon, continuing in a festive atmosphere until 1:00 AM on the night between December 11th and 12th, when the event will conclude.
Every day, from 6 PM to midnight, the Festival of Lights will illuminate Lyon with real abstract but very colorful monuments, architectures made of multicolor lights and – especially this year – also extraordinary 3D effects, very visible on the facade of the Celestini Theater, in Place des Célestins.
The center of the Festival of Lights in Lyon is Place des Terreaux and its Bartholdi Fountain, while the Parc de la Tête d’Or will offer the suggestions of artists, tightrope walkers, strange characters that inhabit the “land of fire“.
And again, projections, Indian villages created by lights on the banks of the Rhone, themed exhibitions, shows and much more, all in the name of light, in all its facets, its colors, its not at all improvised games, between LEDs, clean energy lighting, recycled materials and above all lots of imagination combined with rigorous studies.
Every corner of the city will be set up in the name of the Festival of Lights, to offer a magical Immaculate Conception long weekend in Lyon to those who want to approach this beautiful event now in its twelfth edition.
