i Light Singapore is Asia’s leading sustainable light festival, and it has delighted all citizens and guests of Singapore since 2010. For the duration of the event, our city lights up with myriads of sparkles from light art installations by Singaporean and international artists. Everything is made using energy-saving lightings and eco-friendly materials, so i Light Singapore aims not only to provide a feast for the eyes but also to promote the adoption of sustainable habits in everyone’s daily living. In addition to inspiring artwork, the festival offers a whole range of engaging activities for attendees of all ages.

The 11th edition of i Light Singapore will be held from 29 May to 21 June 2025. Organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the festival will spread over Marina Bay and surrounding areas, including the Singapore River and Raffles Place (for the first time ever).

Yes, just like all happenings taking place in The Lion City this year, i Light Singapore 2025 is also about connecting communities and celebrating SG60.
