For the first time in Israel: the international light festival LUMAGICA arrives in Tel Aviv.
The international light festival LUMAGICA lands in Israel for the first time, at the Tropical Garden and Yarkon Amphipark – starting November 13, 2025.
The festival, which has already conquered more than 20 countries worldwide, offers an immersive multi-sensory experience of light, art, cuisine, and technology, and is designed for the whole family.
The site features a walking path approximately one kilometer long over an area of about 20 dunams, where dozens of giant light sculptures (up to 5 meters), interactive installations, light and sound shows, Instagrammable photo stations, and a European food market will be presented.
Among the exhibits: a giant hot air balloon, a panda bear, a unicorn, a gift tree, a rainbow, a spectacular water installation, and for the first time in Israel – a 5-meter-tall illuminated menorah.
The festival in Israel is produced by MK Illumination Israel, managed by Anat and Sivan Faraj – light artists with extensive international experience, who have participated in the establishment of more than 16 light sculpture exhibitions worldwide.
The festival uses 2 million energy-efficient LED lights, with very low electricity consumption, and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors in many countries.
A regular ticket is sold for 99 NIS, and members of the “Chaver” club enjoy closed days and special benefits at the price of 39 NIS.
Opening hours: Sun–Thu and Sat evenings, 17:00–22:00.
Highly recommended – visiting with the children was an amazing experience, truly felt like being abroad! All the light sculptures were stunning and created a magical forest atmosphere; everything was very well-invested.
There were also plenty of game stalls and the food was simply perfect – my children enjoyed it like crazy, and my husband and I even more!
A recommended experience for the whole family.
