Signal Festival Prague 2025 is expected to electrify the capital this October, transforming it into a vibrant creative playground. For four evenings, the city’s streets and monuments will be alive with light installations, videomapping, and immersive digital art created by Czech and international innovators.

Signal Festival Prague 2025 – what to expect
From October 16 to 19, 2025, Prague turns into a stage for light and creativity. Over the last decade, the festival signal has attracted over 4.5 million visitors, making it the most popular cultural event in the Czech Republic.
The 2025 edition expands on this momentum with a daring program of installations that redefine both renowned monuments and unexplored areas of the city. Whether you’re an art fan, a digital artist, or an inquisitive traveller, the ambience at this urban event is unlike any other in Central Europe.
Art, tech and architecture come alive
What makes the Signal Festival Prague so appealing is the way it combines public space and digital culture. Each evening, familiar sites are reinterpreted as:
- Videomapping animates Gothic churches, baroque facades, and modern buildings.
- Sound and light installations that invite you to enter the artwork itself.
- Interactive pieces in which guests’ presence becomes part of the show.
The end result is a city that feels vibrant and unpredictable, with each street offering a fresh sensory experience.

Together, these works highlight the festival’s significance as a platform for experimentation, bringing modern technology with centuries of architectural legacy.
