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.

Each year, PDXWLF fills empty retail windows, storefronts, hotel lobbies, and local businesses with captivating light-based art installations, bringing the festival’s magic to unexpected corners of the city. Always check the program page before you head out!

The full program and Festival map will be released in January at pdxwlf.com.
