A light art festival inspired by the Nobel Prize

Nobel Week Lights

6–14 December 2025

A light art festival illuminating the Nobel Prize

Nobel Week Lights is a festival lighting up Stockholm during the darkest time of the year – a free cultural experience for all. This year, the festival takes place in both Tensta and in the city centre.

The light art festival invites international and local artists, designers, and students to create public light artworks inspired by the Nobel Prize.

Join us this winter and experience artworks illuminating the work of the Nobel Prize laureates in new and unexpected ways, while you see the city with new eyes together with loved ones.
