Arī šogad gaismas festivāls “Staro Rīga” aicina svinēt gaismu, izejot Rīgas ielās, lai šajos tumšajos vakaros kopā piedzīvotu pozitīvas emocijas un pārsteiguma prieku. Festivāla kopējais maršruts sadalīts sešos Gaismas lokos cauri pilsētai, sākot ar gaismas objektiem pie Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas, kam sekos Vecrīgas gaismas loks, Brīvības pieminekļa gaismas loks, Rīgas centra parku gaismas loks – Vērmanes dārzs, Esplanāde, Brīvības ielas gaismas loks un kā noslēdzošais – Miera ielas gaismas loks. Tevi sagaidīs vairāk ka četrdesmit gaismas objekti, kas stāsta par rītausmu, cerību un jaunu dienu. Festivāla maršruts ir pielāgots īsākai vai garākai pastaigai, tā garums orientējoši seši kilometri un tas veidots, lai to varētu izstaigāt gan vienā vakarā, gan vairākos vakaros, katrā no tiem izvēloties aplūkot gaismas objektus katrā atsevišķā gaismas lokā. Festivāla tēma šogad ir “Rītausmas vēstneši”. “Staro Rīga” šogad aicina ieraudzīt gaismu kā jauna sākuma vēstnesi – kā cerību, kas dzimst no tumsas, kopā svinot Latvijas dzimšanas dienu. Šī gada festivālā ar saviem darbiem kopā ar mūsu gaismu objektu veidotājiem piedalīsies mākslinieki no Portugāles, Maķedonijas, Nīderlandes, Francijas, Kanādas, Vācijas, Zviedrijas, Apvienotās karalistes, Rumānijas un Itālijas. – Apskati objektus.
