Video Projection on the Town Hall Façade

A light show where the magic of Christmas meets the city’s history. After the Christmas lights have been switched on and the tree has illuminated the square, the Town Hall takes over as the evening’s shining stage. Over five weekends, on Fridays and Saturdays, its façade is transformed into a magical play of light, colour and movement, with a living story about Uddevalla’s history. First, the Town Hall is transformed by a spectacular, magical light show in which the world of Christmas takes over the façade. Wintry light patterns, snowfall, elves and imaginative effects alternate in a playful, fast-paced display in which the building changes appearance and almost seems to come to life. A grand Christmas experience filled with light, movement and surprises. This is followed by a short film in which, just as last year, we can experience some of the most dramatic and symbolic moments from Uddevalla’s history—events that have shaped the city and its identity over time. Through narration, light and movement, history is brought to life on the Town Hall façade. The films are shown on a loop, giving everyone a chance to experience the magical interplay of light, sound and façade.
