The annual light festival ÖÖvalgel (In the light of the NIGHT), which takes place on the last weekend of September, is the largest cultural event in Pärnu, where light projection shows are performed in various locations in the city of Pärnu three evenings in a row.

It is a festival of light theater, where stories are told through light and video projections, with the main character always being a living person.

The first ÖÖvalgel Festival took place in September 2019. Today, the festival has become one of the most unique light theater festivals in the neighbouring countries, where, unlike other light festivals, the focus is on the performance, not just the light objects or installations.

This year’s performances will take place in the downtown and beach area of Pärnu. The venues are just a short walk away from each other. Thus, the festival is a stroll along the streets and parks of Pärnu.
