Kolding Light Festival 2026 – A Magical Experience

On the first weekend of December, Kolding lights up as Kolding Light Festival fills the city with light art, installations, sound and activities. Streets, squares and buildings become part of the experience, offering new ways to discover Kolding.

Festival experiences are spread across the city, making the walk between installations part of your visit. Follow the programme to find the works and activities you want to experience, or simply explore the city and see what you discover along the way.

Kolding Light Festival is easy to combine with a day trip or weekend in Kolding. Spend the day discovering the city's attractions, shops, cafés and restaurants before the light installations take over after dark.
