When The Lights
Come On 🌙

Day 2 is where GRVF truly comes alive after dark. The aerial view shows thousands of lights — from phone screens, LED wristbands, and stage lasers — transforming Shonan Beach into a galaxy on Earth.

THE NEON COLLECTIVE's art projections cover the entire beach, and NEON SAKURA's confetti finale sends the crowd into euphoria. Then the silent disco takes over until the early hours.
