To mark this 10th anniversary, Festi Lumi will offer three magical evenings, where the Mediterranean and the world of Bonifacio's fishermen will take center stage. Light shows, live performances, and artistic installations will transform the city into a showcase of light.
Join us on July 3, 4, and 5, 2025, for a sensory and poetic experience between land and sea, where every street, facade, and square will tell a story in light.

The luminous works and artistic installations of Festi Lumi, varied and full of surprises, are revealed through an intuitive nighttime itinerary featuring several points of interest: the Quai Saint-Erasme, the Saint-Roch Chapel, the Bastion de l'Étendard esplanade, the Sainte-Marie-Majeure Church, the Tourist Office, the Place Carrega, the Place Bir Hakeim, the Halle de l'Arsenal, the Pisan district, and the Saint-Dominique Church.
You will be subtly guided while remaining in control of your own pace and discovery of the artistic offerings. You will not only be a spectator, but sometimes also a participant, letting your imagination run wild as you view the works on display.
WHAT IS FESTI LUMI?
• Light projections and images using giant video projections on the facades of key buildings in the city center.
• Light installations scattered throughout the city punctuate the festival route. They interact with light, manipulate it, magnify it, and sometimes even connect it with the public.
• Magical lanterns, a feature of the festival since its inception. Like luminous “Tom Thumb” lanterns, they guide visitors through the citadel and fill the night sky with a swarm of mysterious lights (lanterns are on sale during the festival near the Arsenal hall).

MAGICAL LANTERNS TO TAKE HOME
As every year, lanterns are sold throughout the city by the Municipal Tourist Office. In addition to the tourist information offices in the Citadel, the Bastion, and the Marine, a sales point will be set up in the Pisan district, opposite the Loggia de l'Arsenal, on the three evenings of the festival.
