Let's start the holidays! We start on December 5

There will be no shortage of activities: Let's start the holidays! Together with the Gdańsk City Hall, we will inaugurate it on December 5, 2023.

Magical illuminations and decorations in various compositions will appear at Targ Węglowy and ul. Tkacka, in the Oliwski, Oruński, Kuźniczki and Jana Pawła II Parks, on the promenade in Brzeźno, Zielony Most and ul. Stągiewna, there will also be them on the Heweliusza and Kobzdej squares.

The illuminations include over 160 figures, among which you will be able to see both forms already known by residents and tourists, as well as new ones. For the first time in the Oliwa Park we will see Floating Lilies. On the promenade in Brzeźno there will be an almost 8-meter-wide port crane, accompanied by the previously known 11- and 12-meter-high shipyard cranes. The sponsor of this light composition is the Port of Gdansk Authority. On the street Tkacka harbor has a fairy-tale rocking horse. We will pass through the Gate with a plant motif next to the Armory, and in Oruński Park we will find Lighthouses and a romantic, illuminated Bridge. Right at the entrance, we will be greeted by the Gate Illumination, which will also appear in Kuźniczki Park.

The mentioned figures will create compositions. Thanks to the popularity of the campaign and the interest of subsequent sponsors, you will also be able to find impressive single illuminations. The 6-meter-high Carillion will shine on the Young Poland Square, and the Solidarity inscription will stand on the Road to Freedom. #GDN will illuminate Rybackie Pobrzeże, and the Baltic HUB Christmas tree will illuminate Skwer Stogi.

It is worth adding that the well-known illuminations from previous years also attract sponsors. GPEC is the sponsor of a modern Christmas tree on Kobzdeja Square, GAiT, of course, sponsors the glowing bus and tram on Zielony Most and Stągiewna. GOT liked Lew Hewolion at Targ Węglowy, and the Gdańsk Airport. Lech Wałęsa, for obvious reasons, the air zone in the Park. John Paul II. The State Forests support the Christmas Gazebo at Targ Węglowy, nearby there are sleighs sponsored by Forum Gdańsk, and at ul. Wedel's fountain on Tkacka street.

All illuminations use soft, yellow light. They are made using energy-saving eco-LED technology, so they require 9 times less electricity than traditional light bulbs.

20 illuminations will light up earlier because they can be found at the Christmas Market in Gdańsk.

Na czas Jarmarku uliczki historycznego centrum Gdańska, dzięki pięknym iluminacjom zamienią się
w świąteczne miasteczko. To między innymi zasługa Partnera Strategicznego Jarmarku Bożonarodzeniowego i Iluminacji Gdańskich – Gdańskich Wodociągów.

The partner supporting the Fair in Gdańsk is the GPEC Group - the sponsor of the Gdańsk illuminations.
