Centrally located lighting trail during the festival of 2023

On Friday, October 6th, Alingsås Energi will inaugurate the 24th edition of Lights in Alingsås with the theme “Rays of light – One peace at a time”.

This year’s seven lighting designers will be inspired by and interpret the themes of peace, hope and inner harmony. The route is approximately two kilometers long, following Gerdskastigen along Lillån towards Stampens kvarn, and then back towards the city center. Visitors will see a mix of cityscapes, nature, waterways, and beloved places in Alingsås.

This year, Children´s Lights will take place in Järtas park. Designer and drama teacher Malin Wallin will once again create a playful environment for all with a childlike mind. The installation is sponsored by Alingsås Energi together with Sparbanken Alingsås.
