Sharjah, February 11, 2017 – With the launch of the Sharjah Light Festival every year, the landmarks of the Emirate of Sharjah are transformed into luminous, vibrant artistic paintings embodied in innovative light projection techniques, specially designed soundtracks for each show, and visual storytelling inspired by local culture and contemporary digital arts.
In 2026, the activities of the Sharjah Lights Festival will expand to include the “Village of Lights”, a vibrant family destination that brings together various restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, interactive experiences and various light installations.
The “Village of Lights” is located next to the University City Hall building, and its activities will continue until February 22, providing visitors with a space to meet before or after the main lights displays, or to be an ideal destination to spend an enjoyable evening.
