Brilliant City of Light!
[As the evenings draw in the city of Jyväskylä counters with a fabulous display of light. At the darkest time of the year dozens of permanently illuminated locations enhance the city's architectural jewels and create an atmosphere that is unique, safe and attractive to the eye.

Jyväskylä is a pioneer in Finnish urban illumination and simultaneously the international Cities of Light association's northernmost member. Skilfully designed and implemented, the city's illumination has won accolades also at the global level: Jyväskylä won the international urban illumination city.people.light. award in autumn 2009. The criteria for the competition win included ecological sustainability alongside aesthetic impression. Good design means a reduction in light pollution and savings in energy.
One of the most exciting City of Light happenings is the Light Trilogy show combining light, sound and images in a unique manner staged regularly on the facade of Jyväskylä Lyceum throughout the autumn, winter and spring. The city already has over 70 other magnificent permanently illuminated sites. The newest of these are presented during the City of Light event held every autumn.
Discover our illuminated sites on one of the guided walking tours arranged by Jyväskylä Region Tourist Information or on a go-as-you-please basis using the EventMap mobile application!
