The Winter Lights festival, now in its milestone 10th year, will run from January 21 to 31, 2026, transforming the area into an outdoor gallery of light art.
Pippa Dale, associate director for arts and events at Canary Wharf Group (CWG), said: “Winter Lights started as a glowing idea to brighten the dark January nights and bring joy through art to Londoners.
“Over the past decade, the idea has grown and grown, transforming into the capital’s most ambitious light art festival, with this year’s Dreamscape theme representing our boldest vision yet.”
The 2026 edition will feature interactive, colourful installations from leading global light artists.
The full artist line-up will be revealed in December, with the festival being free to attend.
