Lucia in Randers - a magical procession filled with light and tradition

Experience an atmospheric Lucia procession in the heart of Randers on 12 December, organised by ReThinker Randers and GAIA Academy. Don't miss this unique celebration where tradition meets creativity and light is brought through the city streets.

A modern interpretation of Lucia

The Lucia procession is a beautiful Nordic tradition celebrated every year on 13 December. In Randers, we celebrate a little earlier with a procession that stretches through the city centre, led by an impressive Lucia bridge, created by GAIA Academy and artist Britt Kristensen. Participants, including local schoolchildren and volunteers, carry small lanterns as they move through the city wearing Lucia dresses made from recycled materials from Aarhus University Hospital.

An experience for the whole family

The parade starts from Østervold at 10.30am, where it moves through the city streets to Kirketorvet and ends at Den Jyske Hingst at 11.30am. The event spreads light and warmth in the darkness of winter and creates a strong sense of community.
