Starlight Tunnel – Norway’s longest light tunnel
In the centre of Kvinesdal, you will find the Starlight Tunnel, Norway’s longest light tunnel. It stretches 60 metres across the footbridge and is decorated with 35,000 lights that brighten the winter darkness. Here you can walk through a shimmering tunnel of light, take photos and enjoy the calm Christmas atmosphere in the heart of Kvinesdal.
Santa’s Sleigh
In the middle of the town centre, Santa’s sleigh is ready for both children and adults who want to take a little break and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. You can sit down, take a photo or simply enjoy the moment as the lights sparkle around you. The sleigh has become a familiar part of the festive season in Kvinesdal and a popular place to stop for a small taste of Christmas magic.
The Christmas Globe
In the centre of Kvinesdal stands the large Christmas globe, spreading a warm and cozy holiday atmosphere. It is 4.5 metres tall and made locally with over 1.2 kilometres of lights. People stop here to take photos, chat a little and enjoy the calm moments of the festive season together.
The Christmas Calendar
From 1 to 24 December, the town hall in Kvinesdal is transformed into Norway’s largest Christmas calendar. Each day, a new star shaped like a snowflake lights up in one of the windows, all the way until Christmas Eve. The facade is decorated with numbers from 1 to 24, and the lights create a soft glow over the town centre.
The local light display has become a cherished tradition that brings people of all ages together to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere every December evening.
