There’s a dazzling projection art event coming to Sharjah.
Sharjah Light Festival is returning for 2022 with 11 nights of colourful projections and music. If this year is anything like previous festivals, our eyes are in for a treat.
The colourful festival is the first and only of its kind in the region and has been running for over ten years. It attracts thousands of visitors to up to 20 locations in Sharjah each year. The designs are inspired by local culture, stories and traditions.
The 2022 Sharjah Light Festival goes from Sunday February 9 to Thursday February 20 and is organised by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.
