The Festival of Light

The highlight of Chartres in Lights, the Festival of Light combines for one evening the magical atmosphere of illuminations, the discovery of new scenographies and the festive atmosphere of street shows, strolls and entertainment.

The Festival of Light is a free event organised by the City of Chartres and taking place in the heart of the city of Chartres.

The 2020 Festival of Light [Canceled]

The health situation shows that the movement and grouping of people can help to maintain the spread of the Coronavirus in the country. In observance of the rules given by the Government, the City of Chartres had to resolve to cancel Chartres In Lights and the Festival of Light for the year 2020.

We look forward to seeing you in 2021 to discover all the novelties we had planned for you this year.

Take care and see you soon!
