Festi Lumi

Festi Lumi, Bonifacio's Lights Festival

Festi Lumi is a light art festival that takes place every summer in the medieval upper town and the Marina of Bonifacio, in Corse-du-Sud. Created in 2014 on the initiative of the municipality of Bonifacio to enhance its architectural heritage, the festival has been artistically directed by L'Agence Lumière (Régis Clouzet), which has been responsible for its programming for eight editions.

An Immersive and Free Nocturnal Route

For three nights, from sunset until 1 AM, the festival unfolds an intuitive itinerary where every street, facade, and square of the citadel tells a story in light. Giant video mappings on facades, luminous artworks, intimate experiments, and live performances converge across a dozen sites — from the bastions of the upper town to the alleys of the Quartier Pisan, passing through the viewpoints of Campu Rumanilu and the Marina. Access is entirely free.

A Spectacular Edition Every Summer

The 2025 edition brought together over 12,000 visitors over three evenings around the theme of the Mediterranean and Bonifacio fishermen, marking the festival's tenth anniversary. Each edition features an open call for projects to artists, visual artists, architects, scenographers, and lighting designers, whose selection, announced each winter, leads to original creations for Bonifacio.

An Event Supported by the Municipality and its Partners

Festi Lumi is organized by the Mairie de Bonifacio in partnership with the Office de Tourisme de Bonifacio and the artistic direction of L'Agence Lumière. The festival strongly contributes to the cultural and tourist attractiveness of the municipality and Corse-du-Sud, by showcasing the exceptional architectural heritage of the Genoese city in a nocturnal scenography renewed annually.
