SIGNAL Festival 2024: Official Program Unveiled for October 10-13

The organizers of the renowned SIGNAL Festival 2024 have unveiled the detailed program for this year’s event, promising to dazzle both Prague’s residents and visitors.

Running over four consecutive evenings—October 10, 11, 12, and 13 (Thursday through Sunday)—the festival offers an immersive experience, blending cutting-edge light installations with the city’s historic architecture.

The main part of the festival will once again take place in the heart of Prague, showcasing spectacular works of art in the city’s streets and squares, all free of charge.

What to Expect: 13 Light Installations and Video Mappings

Attendees can enjoy 13 stunning light installations, as well as two video mappings projected onto iconic buildings: the facade of the Central City Library on Mariánské Square and the Archbishop’s Palace on Hradčany Square.

The video mappings will run daily from 7:00 PM to midnight, with shows repeating every 15 minutes. This provides plenty of opportunities for visitors to catch these mesmerizing displays throughout the evening.

Indoor Installations and Ticket Information

In addition to the outdoor exhibits, seven art installations will be hosted in various indoor locations such as churches and galleries. While these exhibits require a ticket, they are well worth the admission for those who wish to experience the full festival. Tickets are available on the festival’s official website, with two pricing options:

• SIGNAL-Plus (340 CZK): Grants unlimited access to all paid installations throughout the entire festival.
• SIGNAL-VIP (1,690 CZK): Offers priority entry, allowing visitors to skip the long lines and enjoy additional perks.

Prague Castle Debut

For the first time in its 13-year history, the festival will include Prague Castle on one of its two main routes. This new addition marks a significant step for the festival, blending modern art with one of the city’s most historic landmarks.

“There is a place for contemporary art at Prague Castle,” said Veronika Wolf, Director of Culture at the Office of the President of the Republic. “We are continually seeking ways to introduce modern art into this historic setting, and our collaboration with the SIGNAL Festival is a natural evolution of these efforts.”

Two Unique Routes: Hradčany and Centrum

This year’s edition offers two distinct routes—Hradčany and Centrum. Both routes will guide visitors through Prague’s vibrant cityscape, filled with light design, digital art, and immersive experiences. An interactive map and a detailed description of each installation can be accessed via the festival’s official website.

A Fusion of Art, Technology, and Social Issues

“Join us in an ecosystem where light design, visual art, and digital creativity intersect with the city’s historical landscape,” the organizers said. “This year, we touch on important contemporary social themes, using Prague as a canvas to explore the balance between tradition and technology.”

The festival also introduces a new educational platform and will host the Signal Forum conference, focusing on the intersection of technology, art, and society.
