Light festivals have also gained popularity in most cities of the world as a cultural activity. The festivals unite artists, designers, and visitors to the festivals in which they celebrate creativity with the help of installed lights and visual displays.
In case of a light festival, parks, streets, and buildings are converted into light art exhibitions. Tourists will be able to walk through the installations, walk along light-lit paths and view interactive lights.
Such festivals are usually characterised by a great variety of styles. There are installations that make use of light sculptures on large scale and projection mapping or digital animation.
Emerging artists can also be exposed at the light festivals. Artists who include creative lighting projects in several festivals are invited to other countries.
These events aside artistic expression contribute towards tourism and exchange of cultures. Tourists come to other areas to enjoy the special ambiance established by the use of lights.
