DREAMS & STORIES
A magical journey between dreams and stories!
A magical journey between dreams and stories! This year, Lumina takes you on a luminous journey through dreams and stories! The streets, squares, and gardens of Cascais are transformed into living canvases, where light tells never-before-seen stories and gives shape to fleeting dreams.
The real and the imaginary blend in a unique sensory experience, where logic gives way to the surreal and the familiar merges with the unexpected. Let yourself be carried away by brilliant installations that challenge the imagination and explore the limits of creativity.
Come live this immersive experience and discover the power of light to tell a story.
