Fête des Lumières

Four evenings of light art in Lyon, 5-8 December 2026. This is the current-year event overview; our full travel guides cover later editions.

The occasion

Free light-art installations transform public spaces across the city. The organiser expects to announce the annual programme in early November; do not use previous installations as a current programme.

Before you plan

Opening hours are 19:00-23:00 on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday; Sunday 18:00-22:00. No general admission ticket is needed. Check the official programme, access arrangements and transport for your evening; free transport has not been confirmed.
