The works will be in the center of Turku, around Aurajoki, on both sides of the river.
The Light Path light art event is returning to Turku this year, even bigger.
Last year, 100,000 visitors came to see the light artworks.
The event’s light works will be on the banks of Aurajoki, on both sides of the river. The works come to the city on Independence Day and the days before it.
This year, the works draw from Turku’s seascape and make use of the riverside landscapes.
According to the city of Turku, the light art event can be organized despite the energy crisis, as the event consumes relatively little electricity. According to the city, the estimate of electricity consumption is two megawatt hours.
– If every event-goer turns off a 10-watt light from their home for an hour, it is enough to replace the event’s energy consumption, says Heiniö in the city’s press release.
