Bring the family and experience the magic of lighted art at the 2026 Napa Lighted Art Festival!
The Napa Lighted Art Festival is a celebration of creative arts, technology and lights, and supports innovative techniques using light and light technologies as a growing art medium.
This walkable outdoor experience is FREE in Downtown Napa featuring 15 lighted art installations for 5 weeks from January 17 – February 15, 2026. Projection artwork will be displayed on three iconic downtown buildings for the first 9 nights of the festival.

“Affinity” is an immersive, interactive installation that draws inspiration from the intricate workings of the human brain. Each light orb symbolizes a memory, waiting to be awakened. Touching an orb ignites a corresponding light, setting off a visual journey.

“Roaming Gnomes” invites you on a whimsical adventure across the Napa Oxbow District. Each gnome, with its own story and charm, becomes your playful guide on a journey of discovery. Capture their secret hideaways and uncover the magic they bring to every corner, transforming ordinary moments into enchanting explorations.
AVA Animation and Visual Arts is a BIPOC women-led internationally awarded
animation studio based in Toronto, that specializes in creating extraordinary visual
experience.

“Patterns” explores the concepts of unity, harmony, collaboration, and peace, reminding the viewer of the common threads that connect us all. Inspired by reimagined folk patterns, the artwork aims to create a space that celebrates Napa’s past and future, binding together shapes and patterns from its ancestry to illuminate the city.
