Christmas Festival of Lights 2024

As part of this year’s Christmas Wonderland events, Gibraltar Cultural Services (GCS) on
behalf of the Ministry of Culture, will be organising the Christmas Festival of Lights at
Casemates Square on Friday 22nd November 2024.
This year’s event will include two spectacular shows, each incorporating mapping, strobe
lights, fire, confetti and other special effects. Music will feature throughout the lights show. It
promises an immersive 360°experience across Casemates Square. Both performances will be
identical, each lasting no more than 30 minutes and will take place from 6.30pm – 7.30pm and
8.30pm and 9.30pm respectively.
Please be advised that theatrical smokes, fog effects, pyrotechnics, strobe lighting, lasers, fire
and loud noises are used during the performance.
Furthermore, for health and safety reasons as outlined by the Safety Advisory Group,
attendance will be limited to 3,000 people per show. Stewards and security personnel will
manage ingress and egress at entry and exit points only via Main Street and Market Place to
ensure this limit is respected. The organisers ask the public to be mindful of the capacity
restrictions when planning to attend.
The events are organised in conjunction with the Gibraltar Electricity Authority, GibMedia
