Christmas Lights Opening

Once again, the Christmas lights will illuminate our city! Welcome to a sparkling Christmas lights opening evening on Friday, November 20. It will be a festive evening in the town centre as the Christmas lights are switched on and the much-loved outdoor ice rink opens for the season. Along Kungsgatan and at Kungstorget, enjoy beautiful music and theatre for the little ones in the family. At Kungstorget, there will be opening speeches and beautiful Christmas songs as we switch on the Christmas lights together. Warm up and find inspiration in the town centre’s independent shops, and treat yourself to a fika at one of the town’s cosy cafés—or perhaps a delicious meal at one of Uddevalla’s many lovely restaurants.
