From January 12 to 22 2023 Lucerne will once again be shining – but in a reduced version! Due to the current situation regarding the energy supply, the festival management hasn’t made an easy the decision about the implementation. However, in consultation with the municipality of Lucerne, they want to hold on to Lilu Light Festival Lucerne. Therefore, the energy consumption of the festival will be reduced by at least 30%, whereby a 20% reduction in energy usage is the target set by the municipality of the city Lucerne. The city administration also demands a concrete plan of measures how this target can be reached. Both municipality of Lucerne and the festival management agree: Cultural winter events are socially important and support the economy in an otherwise already challenging time.
