A 360-degree immersive sound and light show in the large Parade Ground of Fort Bard.
Christmas brings unique emotions to Fort Bard with the fifth edition of Luci di Natale al Forte. The sound and light show returns to the fortress’s Parade Ground: every evening, a sparkling and magical atmosphere celebrates the festive season through spectacular video-mapping projections on the façades, in a new production inspired this year by Alice in Wonderland.
The show, entitled Alice in ChristmasLand, reimagines the famous tale in a Christmas setting. The story’s characters and many astonishing creatures accompany visitors on a magical journey to experience Christmas in a fantasy world, within a fully immersive 360-degree scenography.
The Parade Ground also hosts Santa’s Village, featuring refreshments with hot drinks and Christmas treats. Throughout the festive season, Fort Bard offers a programme of family-friendly events, including shows, children’s entertainment and concerts.
Screenings do not take place on November 30, December 14, 21 and 25 (days when the Fort is closed).
