Live Guided Canal Cruise Along the Light Show
Sit back and relax as you listen to our guide share stories about the artworks, the artists, and the inspirations behind their pieces. The festival features both Danish and international artists who have created unique light installations along the waterfront. This guided canal cruise starts from our departure point at Ved Stranden and sails for approximately 45 minutes.
See the Nature Crisis in a New Light
In a unique collaboration with the WWF World Nature Fund, Stromma is proud to present PiXLEarth, a captivating light installation by artists Frederik Hougs and Claus Boysen. This innovative artwork uses historical data and light to depict the planet's decline in biodiversity, increase in CO2 consumption, and the changes in temperature since 1970.
Discover PiXLEarth onboard our canal cruise, or visit the enlightening installation at Knasten, Havnegade 14.
