Tel Aviv is set to host the international LUMAGICA light festival, organized by MK Illumination, featuring new installations that blend light, water, flowers, music, and technology. Visitors can expect tens of thousands of illuminated flowers, including a central display of approximately 30,000 specially made tulip flowers, alongside giant floral sculptures and kinetic light elements. A major attraction will be a large water screen, up to 30 meters wide and 10 meters high, projecting video art created for the festival. This show will incorporate water, light, and original music composed by Misha Anton. The festival will also offer interactive exhibits, allowing visitors to participate rather than just observe. Complementing the light installations, a European-style winter fair will operate, featuring two large kosher food areas, various food stalls, and carnival games.
LUMAGICA is an international light festival format, with each country hosting a unique concept. The Tel Aviv festival was specifically designed for Israel, showcasing new exhibits and technologies, some debuting globally. Preparations began nearly a year in advance, involving four MK Illumination factories across six countries. Approximately 15 tons of equipment were shipped to Israel in 12 containers, with additional items flown in. Following its success last year, the Tel Aviv park was recognized as one of the top ten LUMAGICA parks in Europe.
Anat Peretz, CEO of MK Illumination Israel, described the extensive preparation process, noting the journey of an idea from concept to reality involving designers, artists, and factories in multiple countries. She emphasized that the festival aims to create lasting moments and experiences for families, going beyond mere light sculptures to craft memories. The event is designed to transport attendees into a different world for a few hours.
