In Jyväskylä, light and darkness come together in an intriguing way. The light of summer days gives way to the blue twilight of winter, and the city’s lighting brings a new atmosphere to the surroundings as the dark season begins. In Jyväskylä, light is not just a way of illuminating the city – it is part of the urban experience. Over 100 permanent lighting installations form a cohesive whole that can be experienced all year round, transforming the everyday urban landscape into an experience.

The city’s long-term and successful work in developing urban lighting has also been recognised internationally: Jyväskylä has won an award in the international city.people.light competition.
