The Winter Lights Festival held last weekend, Feb. 7-9, was a great success thanks to beautiful weather.

Light art installations brought the city center streets to life, museums opened their doors, and swimming pools offered visitors a unique experience in the enchanting darkness. Admission was free for all the diverse and entertaining events.

During the Winter Lights Festival, many people pitch in to create the city's unique atmosphere. Thanks go to the artists and partners for their contributions in creating a wonderful festival.

The 2027 Winter Lights Festival will take place throughout all six municipalities of the capital area from Feb. 4-7.

And a warm thank you to our visitors for joining us this year!

See you at Winter Lights Festival 2027!
