Eskilstuna Winter Lights illuminate the river walk from 14 November through January
On Saturday 14 November 2026, Eskilstuna Winter Lights open across the city centre. The illuminated route follows the water through Stadsparken, across Strömsholmen and Faktoriholmarna, and around Fristadstorget.
Designed to make the riverside walks welcoming during the darkest months of the year, the light installations remain lit every afternoon and evening until 31 January 2027.
The walk pairs naturally with a visit to the Rademacher Forges, the museums on Faktoriholmarna and in Munktellstaden, or a coffee stop in the Old Town.
