Bucharest is preparing for Christmas with six million lights to be illuminated on November 27, 2026. The city will feature large decorations, including giant globes and light nets. The festive lights will remain on until January 2027, following the celebration of Saint John. The installation process has begun, utilizing existing equipment to minimize traffic disruption. This year's light count is lower than last year's seven million, reflecting a shift in budget priorities over recent years. The mayor has responded to public demand for more decorations after previous years of reduced spending.
