Ljubljana is a wonderful city any day of the year, but in December it takes on an especially magical guise, radiant with festive lights woven into surprising forms that always enchant both residents and visitors. At this time the city squares, streets, bridges and embankments come alive in a truly special atmosphere you just can’t miss. Come join us from 1 December 2023 to 7 January 2024.

The project consists of approximately 850 sculptures and characters. Some elements and assemblages are new, and a large part of the sculptures, which are the work of the late author Zmago Modic, are original, but reconceptualized by his son Urban Modic.
