Copenhagen Light Festival 2018

This video shows a some of the works from the 2018 program which showed great variety in expression.

We hope that the festival made you go out into Copenhagen’s winter-dark streets and canals, discovering light works.

Thank you Copenhagen for making the stage for the light festival. It was a pleasure to adorn you with light for a while. Now you’re back to normal – and still beautiful.

What is Copenhagen Light Festival?

Visit for free – Central Copenhagen will host an outdoor lighting festival with a Danish take. The themes that you expect from Danish art and design is embedded in the events and art works of the festival: Minimalistic beauty, genuine high quality, design and art that shape light itself to human needs, sustainability, and enchanting interaction with architecture and spaces. 2018 will be our debut.
