What? Where? When?
With the festival just around the corner, here come your most asked questions:
How do I get to the installations? Will there be food? Can I bring my kids or grandkids? In this article, we’ll try to answer all your questions so you can enjoy the first edition of the Light Art Festival as comfortably as possible.
TRANSPORTATION
You can comfortably arrive at the festival by car. Parking is available in the city center – on Palackého Street, in the parking garage, near the city swimming pool, or by KKC Hviezda. All of these are just a short walk from the installations.
We recommend using public transport – the Hasičská stop is the closest to the city center, or you can get off at Legionárska or Gymnázium.
