Overview
- The display will cover 21 districts with installations at about 240 sites using more than 13 million LED bulbs.
- Decorations include 126 illuminated cherry trees, 7,134 light chains and 13 large firs, a run that would span roughly 157 kilometers if laid end to end.
- The municipal government approved a contract of around €5 million for installation, maintenance and dismantling within a projected €6.1 million total investment.
- All fixtures will be LED to reduce energy use and light pollution, with the awarded company assuming electricity expenses under the agreement.
- Primary pupils’ designs return to central streets alongside contributions from recognized designers via the ACME partnership, while the mayor has chosen but not revealed the person who will press the button.
