The story
Copenhagen Light Festival in Copenhagen
Copenhagen Light Festival scatters around 50 free light installations along the city's canals, bridges and pedestrian streets each winter, running from late January into late February since its 2018 founding. Works illuminate from around five in the afternoon into the evening, turning Nyhavn, Christianshavn and the harbour into a connected walking or boat-tour route during the darkest weeks of the Danish year.
Roughly 50 light installations spread along Copenhagen's canals, bridges, squares and pedestrian streets each winter for Copenhagen Light Festival, timed deliberately to fall across the darkest weeks of the Danish year between late January and late February.
