Llum BCN. Festival d'Arts Lumíniques Festivals, Science and innovation
02/06/2026 - 02/08/2026

Llum BCN 2026 cements Barcelona's position as one of Europe's leading references in light art. Since its creation in 2012, the festival has transformed the El Poblenou district into a large open-air creative laboratory, where light becomes an artistic tool to reinterpret urban space. National and international artists intervene in buildings, squares and distinctive sites with installations, projections and mapping works that engage in dialogue with architecture and the nocturnal landscape.

The 2026 edition maintains its open and civic character, inviting residents and visitors alike to discover how light can transform the perception of public spaces and generate new collective experiences. The festival continues to champion innovation, contemporary creation and the responsible use of technology applied to art.

Showcasing the city's emerging talent, students from 17 schools of art, lighting, design and architecture in Barcelona present projects conceived specifically for the public space, strengthening the connection between education, creativity and the city.
