Every February, the Copenhagen Light Festival transforms the city’s cold, dark winter evenings into a vibrant display of creativity and light.
For three weeks, the Danish capital becomes a canvas for stunning light art, innovative designs, and awe-inspiring illuminations, captivating locals and visitors alike.
The festival features a diverse lineup of works, from large-scale sculptures and projection mapping to installations and artistic lighting of bridges, facades, and hidden corners of the city. Both seasoned and emerging artists contribute, offering a blend of contemporary innovation and experimental flair. A specially curated program ensures a fresh and engaging perspective on Copenhagen’s urban spaces, inviting exploration of both the bustling city center and its quieter outskirts.
Paths through the inner city and along the harbor guide visitors to most installations, creating an accessible and immersive experience. Whether you’re a local or traveling from afar, this festival is a celebration of art, culture, and community—bringing warmth to Copenhagen’s coldest days.
Step into the glow and discover the magic of winter through the brilliance of light art.
