App Profile: Lights in Alingsås

On October 3, Alingsås Energi will inaugurate the 26th edition of Lights in Alingsås with the theme “Movies in Lights” – A celebration of the enchanting world of cinema. This year’s lighting designers draw inspiration from the powerful art of visual storytelling, inviting visitors to an unforgettable experience. Films speak to us all – regardless of age, background, or origin. We remember scenes that made us laugh, cry, dream, or feel a little less alone.

Lights in Alingsås is a lighting design event in which lighting designers from across the globe illuminate urban environments together with international students through a workshop. The workshop lasts for one week and ends with the grand opening. The installations can be seen throughout the month of October.
This year’s lighting trail is 2,5 kilometres long featuring six workshop installations and several Highlights spread out through the heart of Alingsås. Visitors will see a mix of cityscapes, nature, waterways.

Walking and seeing the installations on your own is for free. The installations are lit from dusk to dawn and follow the usual streetlights’ rhythm every day from October 3 to November 2. From 24:00–05:00 the installations are programmed on “night-scene”, which means they are turned off or are not lit as strong.
