A citywide festival of interactive light installations will once again brighten Portland this winter as the Portland Winter Light Festival returns February 6–14, 2026. Presented by Portland General Electric for its 11th year, the free festival invites the public to experience illuminated art, performances and unexpected moments of joy across both sides of the Willamette River.

This year’s theme, “All The Little Things,” celebrates the small moments of wonder that connect us, an idea that beautifully reflects the Light Festival’s evolution. Pioneer Courthouse Square, the World Trade Center and the Electric Blocks in the Central Eastside will be activated on Friday and Saturday nights with dozens of art installations and performances.

Open Fridays and Saturdays ONLY
February 6-7 & 13-14
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Pioneer Courthouse Square:
701 SW 6th Avenue
