This year, the festival which was launched back in 2010 celebrates its tenth edition. It is a light extravaganza, a journey of space and time with over 30 illuminated and free for public installations all united by the same thing – Bridges of Time.
Traditionally the festival is held in Marina Bay, but this year there are festive installations throughout the city including Civic District; the Singapore River where an immersive, multimedia float show will take place; and Raffles Terrace in Fort Canning Park.
The theme of the festival invites visitors to explore the history of Singapore and the relations of the city-state with the world. 36 countries of the globe submitted over two hundred proposals for the festival, one of the most impressive being a striking map of Singapore over The Lawn@Marina Bay by Dutch artists.
The festival also serves as a paltform for young talents. This year, i Light Student Award will be inaugurated to praise the best sustainable light art installations from students across the globe.
