In autumn 2026, Tampere is once again illuminated by light and art. The illuminated installations can be enjoyed from the opening of Tampere Festival of Light on 23 October until Epiphany 2027.
All installations featured in Tampere Festival of Light 2026–2027 will be published on this website.
New Light and Colour to Hervanta
This year, the Tampere Festival of Light will expand to Hervanta. During the winter season 2026–2027, new light installations will bring colour and memorable experiences to the centre of Hervanta. The installations will include colourful lighting on buildings, light projections, lanterns and community-created light displays
The installations will be located around the Hervanta Leisure Centre, the community centre, the youth centre and Valtaraitti. Some of the content have been created together with the local youth centre. The lighting will highlight the ideas, stories and creativity of young people in Hervanta. The first year will focus on participation, being able to influence things and having your voice heard.
The lighting has been designed to create enjoyable experiences while also taking the surrounding environment into account. Colourful lighting and projections will give buildings, walking routes and public spaces a new atmosphere. They will also make Hervanta more welcoming and enjoyable during the darker months of the year.
