Jubilee of light

Ii November 18th to 24th

LIGHT ART

WORKSHOPS

COMMUNITY ART

Since 2018 the Jubilee of Light has lightened up Ii and its parks and public art works. We celebrate light during the national week of Mental Health from November 18th to 24th . During that time there will be light art, workshops and community art projects happening in Ii.

The main event area is Nättepori around Ii Library (Puistotie 1).

The Jubilee of Light is organised by the Municipality of Ii together with local co-operation partners and cultural producers.

The event is part of Oulu2026 Glowember, when our area is filled with the brilliance of lights and colours during the darkest time of the year.
