City of Light Festival 25.9.-3.10.2026
City of Light Festival 2026 will be nine days long
Jyväskylä's most beloved cultural festival will now light up the city for nine days, from September 25 to October 3. The event will be held for the 20th time!
To celebrate the anniversary, 20 magnificent Finnish and international light works will be built in the city, as well as over 70 accompanying programs. The light route stretches for three kilometers from one end of the city center to the other, and this year the route will also return to Lutakonaukio Square after a break of many years.
The event program will be announced on September 7.
Side program
A wide range of light-themed side events sprouts all around the city to complement the City of Light Festival program. More than 70 side events include light kayaking, candle-light yoga, disco and music events, dance performances, walking tours and much more!
