Winter in Łódź will once again shine with millions of colors! The Million Lights Park is one of the city's most recognizable winter attractions, perfect for a peaceful evening stroll with family, a partner, or friends. This season, surrounded by one of Europe's most modern zoos, a brand-new magical story awaits us.
What is the Million Lights Park?
Imagine millions of twinkling lights that, after dark, completely transform a familiar space into a fairytale world alive with color. The Million Lights Park is a recurring open-air multimedia exhibition organized in autumn and winter by Multidekor S.A. This unique light-and-music display brings urban parks and gardens to life after dark. The park's main concept is an extraordinary interplay of light and music – a powerful light illusion where magical characters, illuminated tunnels, and stunning sets emerge from the darkness.
The event debuted in the 2021/2022 winter season, initially in Łódź and Zabrze, and has successfully returned every year since, steadily expanding across Poland. The current 2026/2027 season is the event's fifth edition, and the magical installations can be admired not only in Łódź but also, among other places, in Kraków, Szczecin, and Zakopane. A distinctive feature of the park is that each edition and location offers a completely new, unique theme, such as “Animal Kingdom” in Kraków or “The Snow Queen” in Zakopane, ensuring that the exhibition always surprises visitors with new installations.
What’s new this year? Go through the rabbit hole!
This year, the main theme of the Łódź exhibition is “Alice in Wonderland”.
- The visit begins with a unique journey through an illuminated rabbit hole.
- A new route awaits visitors, featuring familiar characters from the story, stunning sets, and plenty of interactive areas for everyone to play and take photos together.
As the exhibition takes place at the Orientarium, the organizers place great emphasis on animal welfare. Drawing on experience from previous editions, the lighting and music are carefully adjusted so as not to disturb the zoo's residents. It is also worth noting that during the exhibition, the animals rest safely inside their pavilions.
