Lilu Light Festival Lucerne

We still have to be patient until we can once again illuminate the city of Lucerne with great light installations in January 2022 (the programme is already set). So we are using the time sustainably and are already looking for you and your creativity for the 4th Lilu Light Festival Lucerne from 12 to 22 January 2023. Are you a light artist, art student, multimedia producer, visionary or simply interested in art and do you have a project idea that we should definitely consider? Wonderful – we look forward to receiving your project entry via . You can find more information here.

With a heavy heart we have decided to postpone the 3rd Lilu Light Festival Lucerne by one year due to the latest Covid-19 restrictions of the Swiss Federal Council. With again great light installations we would have loved to enliven the city of Lucerne with creative light art and to provide for beautiful emotions. However, the health of the festival visitors, the locals, the artists and the festival team is our top priority. The 3rd Lilu Light Festival Lucerne will take place from January 6 to 16, 2022.

Thanks for the support! Unfortunately we have not reached the funding threshold. Nevertheless, our crowdfunding campaign had a positive impact and we were able to generate a lot of attention. With a lot of passion and commitment we are now trying everything so that the 3rd Lilu Light Festival Lucerne can take place in January 2021.

Although the 3rd Lilu Light Festival Lucerne will not take place until January 2021, we too are strongly affected by the current crisis. Some sponsoring partnerships have already been cancelled and it is difficult to find new partners. Lilu offers a platform for many people who are also affected by the crisis and also for artists. Support us now on Funders.ch so that we can realize the 3rd Lilu Light Festival Lucerne from January 7th to 17th 2021. Thank you very much for your support!

Already for the third time we are able to launch a “call for projects” for Light Festival Lucerne. From January 7th to 17th we are inviting national and international artists to make Lucerne shine with us.

The second edition of the Lilu Light Festival Lucerne ended tonight. Over 70,000 visitors were thrilled by the 19 light installations from 9 to 19 January 2020. The next Lilu Light Festival Lucerne will take place from 7 to 17 January 2021.

The construction has begun and the artists are slowly arriving. In addition, the Cygnus Swans of the Electric Swan Ensemble are making their way from Berlin to Lucerne.

The Lilu Light Festival Lucerne presents the first light installations – dancing swans, a water tower full of light and history, and illuminated facades will bring light and warmth to the city of Lucerne from 9 to 19 January 2020.
