Valguse festival
2015
2015 was the international year of Light and light-based technologies, when the first Light Festival was born. It was held at the Tõravere observatory, where during the event there were several interactive exhibitions and a science room in the halls and rooms of the observatory, which helped to understand the nature and use of light. The evening ended with the play of light and music “Forest of Light”, which took the viewer on a journey between the Tõravere telescopes.
2017
Already in the third year, the Tõravere observatory was too small for the festival, so in 2017 Luke manor was chosen as the new venue, where the old manor park provided many new opportunities to highlight different forms of light. In Luke manor park, the area of living fire was added to the scientific and artistic light, where the importance of fire as the most familiar source of light and heat in the technological development of mankind was introduced.
2019
Since each venue offers new possibilities with its own uniqueness, the festival will move to a new location on the shores of Nõo Veskijärve in two years, i.e. in 2019. The following year, in addition to Veskijärvi and Nõo Church, the events also took place in Kellamehe Park, and as a new experience, a path inspired by satellites was made of 2,000 outdoor candles.
2020
In year 2020, in addition to Veskijärv and Nõo Church, events took place in Kellamehe Park. A path inspired by 2,000 outdoor candles was completed as a new experience.
