Sharjah Light Festival 2026 Preparations Visible Across Major Landmarks Tonight

The Sharjah Light Festival 2026 is set to transform the emirate into a luminous masterpiece from February 3 to 15. This 15th edition, which has a theme of Reflections of Belonging, emphasizes on cultural identity and communal heritage as a region. It can be felt in the preparations as technical teams perform last minute projection tests in multiple locations. The event was organised by Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority (SCTDA) and consists of 13 stations where foreign artists provide 3D-based maps to narrate the story about Islamic history and values of local people. This yearly festival is still making Sharjah a world center of art and innovation.

Illuminating major landmarks and Heritage Sites

The festival’s artistic displays will span across major landmarks, including the iconic Al Noor Mosque and the Sharjah Mosque. These buildings will be huge screens of the detailed light patterns glorifying the classic Emirati motifs and the beauty of structures. Tonight’s technical trials at these major landmarks ensure that every detail of the projection mapping is perfectly aligned for tomorrow’s grand opening ceremony.

Located near University City Hall, the Light Village has already begun welcoming visitors for its extended seasonal run. This special area will be a selection of interactive art, local food booths, and entertainment that is family friendly. The Light Village serves as the social heart of the event, providing an immersive environment where residents can gather before exploring the wider light trail across the city.
