Don't expect spectacular fireworks or blinding laser games during this Scandinavian event. The monuments, the parks, the harbor, the roofs of houses and train stations will be subtly lit during the second edition of this festival, organized by lighting specialists. In the Danish capital, they will illuminate 40 sites, open every evening to the public.

Artists in the field of theater, cinema, television, architecture or the implementation of light installations with an international scope, they will enhance each site surrounded by a bright rainbow. It will even be possible to enjoy a special visit with a guide, on bicycle, on foot, aboard a Segway, a kayak, or by boat along the canals.
