Aaltoja! Light and Sound in Kotka is a free city festival for the whole family, bringing a host of experiences to the city from Thursday to Saturday, 15–17 October 2026. The highlight of the festival is the light and sound art trail, which changes every year and is open from 6 pm to 10 pm. In 2026, the trail will run through Kotkansaari, and there will be stalls at Kotka Market Square and Isopuisto.

The ‘Aaltoja!’ festival is organised by the City of Kotka’s Culture and Events Services in collaboration with local organisations.
