About Copenhagen Light Festival

Copenhagen Light Festival is an annual light festival that transforms the quiet and cold winter darkness into a unique celebration of light art, lighting design and lighting in central Copenhagen.

For three weeks in February, the festival presents a wide range of light-based works — such as sculptures, installations, projection mapping, events and lighting created by both established and upcoming lighting artists, lighting designers, students and organizations.

With a bespoke lighting programme selected by a curatorial committee, the festival exhibits, highlights and interprets the city's diverse spaces, squares, facades, bridges and hidden places in a new and engaging way.

The majority of the light works are located along a footpath in the inner city and harbour, while a selection of artworks can be experienced in areas outside the city centre.

The festival invites both international and local audiences of all ages to enjoy the city during the darkest and even coldest time of the year.
