The theme of the festival is the spring that symbolizes the awakening, growth and renaissance, therefore each of the locations will try to evoke the springtime through light performances that will be held from 6 to 11 pm during the festival.

Zagreb joins other world cities that have a tradition of holding such festivals, like Lyon, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Prague, St. Petersburg or Berlin. The intention is that the Festival of Lights Zagreb becomes a perennial tourist product with the aim of generating greater tourist traffic at this time of year.
