"A centerpiece are eight-story artworks by 3D projection-mapping artists. These will be displayed 7-10 p.m. nightly on the facade of City Hall at 250 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto. There are also artworks that transform an alley into a movement-activated hall of lights, and something called a "Screamaton" that morphs a photo booth with a rage cage. Plus, nightly performances on King Plaza, live music and pop-up concerts across downtown."
"Then in Oakland, there's the Autumn Lights Festival popping off 6 p.m.-11 p.m. on Oct. 16-18 with roughly 75 glowing and locally-produced artworks. Now in its 14th year, the annual event is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Gardens at Lake Merritt and takes place at the gardens at 666 Bellevue Ave., Oakland. The Gardens at Lake Merritt were built in the 1950s and feature 7 acres of idyllic water-and-forested space including bonsai and rhododendron groves."
Two Bay Area light festivals occur mid-October in Palo Alto and Oakland. Code:ART 2025 runs Oct. 16–25, 6–10 p.m., with artist meet-and-greets Oct. 16–18. The free festival presents dynamic projections, immersive environments, responsive sound, light and game-based experiences, featuring eight-story 3D projection-mapped works on City Hall (7–10 p.m. nightly), a movement-activated alley of lights, a "Screamaton" photo-booth/rage-cage hybrid, nightly King Plaza performances, live music and downtown pop-up concerts. Autumn Lights Festival runs Oct. 16–18, 6–11 p.m., with roughly 75 local luminous artworks at the Gardens at Lake Merritt and serves as a fundraiser with tickets sold for the event.
