In summary, the first lantern ever produced happened in the Mediterranean region – a basic lantern that was used simply for daily necessities – the art of the lantern began to emerge during Egyptian civilization – and advanced even further within Greek and Roman civilization. The first lantern festival that ever took place occurred in Ancient Egypt – and later became a tradition within the Roman Empire – which was called Lychnapsia – “a festival of lamps that occur on August 12, widely regarded by scholars as having been held in honor of Isis. It was thus one of several official Roman holidays and observances that publicly linked the cult of Isis with Imperial cult.” Based on the multicultural society of the Roman Empire – a gateway to the world, the lamp festival tradition (among other things) were adopted by other cultures and shared among their local communities – which eventually was introduced to the Asian continent – whereby, the first lantern festival in Asia, occurred in India – and 500 years later, it made its way into Chinese culture – and the tradition continued.
The very first lantern festivals date back anywhere between 3,000 – 4000 BC, originating in Ancient Egypt, where numerous lamp festivals were celebrated.
If we examine the history of lantern celebrations in Ancient Asia, we will find that the 2 most historic traditions that involve the celebration of lights and lamps, which are still being practiced today, would be Diwali and Hanukkah. Diwali was introduced in Ancient India around 527 BC, meanwhile the Ancient Israelites (Asia minor) began their tradition of Festival of Lights after they defeated the Greeks around 164 BC. Many years later, approximately 300-400 years later, the original lamp celebrations of Asia eventually began to influence Chinese culture.

LUMINOSA – A Journey Through Light – is a collaboration between Jungle Island of Miami FL & LEKTRIK ART
Luminosa became a tradition and brand in Miami FL – with it’s first showcase Exhibition in 2019. The reviews and feedback based on this shockingly beautiful and high impact Illuminating art exhibition began an annual trend. This was also in conjunction to popular demand and repeat suggestions from those who witnessed the 2019 installation – for strongly requesting LEKTRIK ART – Luminosa – to come back – therefore, in 2021, Lektrik Art and Jungle Island began designing with an unbreakable commitment to continue this annual trend and tradition – keeping it in Miami, FL forever.
Now in its fourth year, you will expect – and always expect – a brand new design – brand new themed sections, more immersive than prior years, and different stories – with a different experience – yet more attractions – and more performances.
The 2025 edition of Luminosa transforms 13 acres of jungle into an illuminated wonderland filled with towering lamp scenes, dazzling art, and breathtaking moments at every turn.
This monumental installation converts Miami into a glowing journey through the world’s most mystical landscapes. Inspired by the Amazon, the African savannah, Ancient Egypt, and the Frozen Kingdom, the design blends cultural legends, natural wonders, and fantasy into an unforgettable illuminated experience.
The exhibition features live performances, food / beverage / cocktails and other interactive elements – fun for all ages, young, teens, adults, and seniors.
