The stunning possibilities of advanced technologies turn the city into an open-air art gallery with colorful light sculptures, installations, and projections. One of the festival’s brightest events is the international 3D video mapping contest. Media artists from different countries are invited to transform the building of the Kyiv City State Administration on Khreshchatyk street into a huge screen with spectacular video projections. The Kyiv Lights Festival follows the traditions of famous light festivals that are held annually in many capitals of the world. Admission is free to all festival venues.
