Light, Art, and Culture Come Together in Kolding
Kolding Light Festival has been a beloved tradition since 2013, and the 2024 edition was nothing short of breathtaking. With spectacular projection mapping, interactive light sculptures, and digital installations, the festival showcased the perfect fusion of creative technology and artistic expression.
From the moment the lights turned on, the city came alive with color and energy. Buildings became canvases, alleys turned into immersive experiences, and public spaces glowed with vibrant storytelling through light.

The installations weren’t just beautiful — they were meaningful. Each piece invited visitors to interact, reflect, and view Kolding from a new perspective. From large-scale light shows to subtle poetic details, the festival brought together artists, locals, and tourists in a shared celebration of creativity.
