Österlen Lights is an annual light festival that spreads light and warmth when the autumn darkness is at its thickest.
The event, which started in 2005, has grown to involve villages, associations, businesses and individuals throughout Österlen.
I år är det extra festligt då Österlen Lyser firar 20 år, och temat för Årets Ljusby är ”Stranden från Ystad till Vitemölla”. Fredagen den 31 oktober blir det strandfirande på flera platser längs kusten – istället för ett stort samlat evenemang sprids festligheterna ut från söder till norr.
For three days in November, Österlen and its surroundings are transformed into a sea of light.
By lighting marshals, lanterns and other light sources on stairs, walls and in gardens, everyone contributes to the unique atmosphere. The aim of Österlen Lyser is to strengthen the community, support local businesses and highlight the beauty of the region even during the darker months of the year.
Whether you live in Österlen or are a visitor, you are welcome to take part in this magical tradition. Let's light up autumn together!
