There are many invigorating experiences to enjoy in the Danish capital but none more illuminating than the Copenhagen Light Festival. This annual light festival transforms the quiet and cold winter darkness into a unique celebration of light art, lighting design and illumination in the centre of Copenhagen.

During three weeks in February, the festival showcases a wide range of light based works – such as sculpture, installation, projection mapping, special events and unique illuminations created by both established and upcoming light artists, lighting designers, students and businesses.

With a tailored light program selected by a curatorial committee, the festival exhibits, accentuates and interprets the city’s different spaces, squares, facades, bridges and hidden places in a new and engaging way.

The majority of the light works are showcased along a special path in the city centre and also in the world famous harbour, a smaller selection of exhibitions can be experienced in neighbouring areas outside of the CBD.

The Festival invites both international and local audiences of all ages to enjoy the city during the darkest and even the coldest time of the year. This is literally an enlightening experience to behold!
