Upcoming events in Uppsala
Uppsala Light Festival
Time: 16:00-22:00
Admission: Free
From November 7th to 23th, you’ll experience a delightful blend of creativity and technology as fantastic light installations illuminate our city center once again. Explore Uppsala with fresh eyes – together with family, friends, a neighbor, or on your own.
The theme for 2025 is "The promise of change" – an exploration of the power and possibilities of change. Through light, sound and stories, emotions, thoughts and conversations are awakened about our role in the sustainable transition. Bring someone you like – or go on your own. Explore, experience and contribute to a brighter future.
Welcome to the light festival Allt ljus på Uppsala 2025. All light installations are lit between 16:00-20:00 during the days of the festival.

New city / country, new experiences, and… new friends? Whether you’ve just arrived in Uppsala or you’ve been finding your way for a while, this event is for you!
We at Uppsala International Hub are here to support you as you find your feet in Uppsala, but sharing your experiences—and hearing from others on the same path—can make the ride even smoother.
We'll have a casual discussion about what it’s really like to settle into life here — the good, the tricky, and everything in between. Afterwards, we’ll lighten things up with the card game Hitster, where music and memories meet for a good laugh.
Light refreshments will be provided.
