It allows festival-goers to explore the theme of light and delve into certain installations in more detail, and to see behind the scenes at the Festival of Light. 

Observation games have also been set up on location at around fifteen of the installations at the Festival of Light.
45,000 fun facts booklets have been handed out: 22,000 in state schools, 8,000 in private schools, 5,000 in libraries, and 9,000 in the cabins during the 2021 Festival of Lights.
 

Lumignons du cœur : participate in an act of solidarity

The City of Lyon is aware of how important the lumignon candles are to the 8th of December celebrations, and so it has decided to give them back their rightful place at the heart of the Festival by incorporating them into an act of collective solidarity. 

Every year since 2005, the event has showcased a different charitable cause. The Festival of Lights is continuing this tradition by programming a large-scale installation at one of the city's main sites, with the proceeds going to a charitable cause.

We are calling on you to commit to this partnership which, once it has been established, will show all your potential clients the spirit of citizenship that characterises your approach.

Becoming a partner of the Lumignons du cœur means joining a team of hard-working companies and uniting around a common charitable cause to embark on an adventure which truly has people at its heart.

It is also a precious opportunity for your company to adopt a CSR-based approach with the participation of your employees: the opportunity to present your company, selling lumignon candles, working as volunteers to help run the project, etc.
