1000 LIGHTS
From 3rd to 5th January is another magical date in Kufsteinerland: the ‘Kufstein Festival of 1000 Lights`
From dusk until 8.30 p.m. the town square and the old town center are lit up with candles, lanterns and torches. It is a swarming of flames, lights, shadows, a scenic play of light and darkness that amazes young and old alike. From windows, in the streets, on verandas, thousands of lit lanterns sprout up, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The alleys, which are already fascinating even in sunlight, acquire a fairytale air, the festive atmosphere echoes through the streets and squares. Gastronomic delicacies, musical entertainment and a children's program welcome in the New Year, which started a few days ago.
