Wandering Lights Festival Returns to Kadriorg Park

 

This week, from September 19 to 21, Kadriorg Park will be turned into a luminous wonderland as part of the annual “Wandering Lights” Festival. Over the course of three evenings, from 8 to 11 pm, visitors will be treated to a beautiful light installations, dazzling music and light performances, and a magical trail of glowing lanterns.

The theme for this year’s festival, “The Power of Light”, emphasises the significance of light in our lives, especially as autumn draws near and the days become shorter. As darkness increasingly blankets the evenings, light stands as a symbol of warmth and guidance. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, light offers hope, clarity, and strength, helping us navigate life’s challenges. It brings forth the inner light that shines within each of us, even when the world outside feels grey and cold.

 

 

In its 17th year, the Wandering Lights Festival features unique light installations, dazzling music and light performances, and a magical trail of glowing lanterns. As in previous years, thousands of candles and lights will be lit throughout the park, crafting vibrant patterns and colours that weave through the night.

You can get more information from the Kadriorg Park official webpage.
