About project partners

Zsolnay Light Festival (Pécs, HU)

The first and only light festival in Hungary, the Zsolnay Light Festival in Pécs, will shine the center of Pécs again with dazzling light creations in the summer of 2022!

Between July 7 and 10, 2022, the buildings will be clad in a light robe and the streets get a light carpet, while the monumental façade of the Cathedral will be brought to life by the best 3D motion-image projections of the international mapping competition.

The 4-day festival is a really memorable experience for families and groups of friends in the Mediterranean city-centre of Pécs, with mappings and various accompanying programs.

Walking along the Pathway of Light passing through the center of Pécs, you can once again admire grandiose, heart-warming, and extravagant – and always incredibly spectacular, site-specific light installations at some 30 locations.

The festival offers a unique combination of the world of light festivals, street art productions, concerts, theatre, and new circus performances.

Biela noc (Bratislava / Košice, SK)
