During eight evenings, running from 30th January to 2nd February and from 6th to 9th February (from 7 pm to midnight), the historic centre of Mons will come to life with art and light as visitors follow a 3-km-route dotted with 16 installations. This event is FREE of charge.

For this second edition, the Festival also features a guest star: Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata.
