The story
Porvoo Lights in Porvoo
Porvoo Lights transforms the historic streets of Porvoo, Finland's second-oldest town, into a self-guided outdoor gallery of light and sound installations each February. Scattered throughout the old town's cobblestone streets and riverside setting, the festival extends Porvoo's visitor season into the coldest, darkest part of the Finnish winter.
Porvoo Lights transforms the historic streets of Finland's second-oldest town into an outdoor gallery of light and sound installations each winter, timing the event for early February when long nights give artists maximum opportunity to project, illuminate, and animate the town's well-preserved wooden old town and riverside setting.
