Glowember 2024
November 1–30
It is time to celebrate light!
The contrast of darkness and light has always inspired people and created new experiences. That is why the Oulu2026 area is adorned with the brilliance of lights and colours during November through various events and community art installations. Last year, for the first time ever, we introduced “Glowember” – a spectacle that aimed to brighten the darkening days of November.
Some of the events during Glowember are well known, while others are being organized for the first time. You can participate in Glowember by attending events or visiting permanent light installations, illuminating your home or workplace, and by sharing light-themed pictures and experiences on social media.
More detailed information about the events that take place can be found on this page (currently in Finnish).
