Festival of Lights Berlin 2026
Colours of Love
From October 9 to 18, 2026, we once again transformed Berlin into a radiant stage for light art as we celebrated the 22nd edition under the motto “Colours of Love.”
With great attention to detail, we combined light, art, and music to create new perspectives, illuminated Berlin’s iconic landmarks, and set our guests’ hearts aglow. This year, everything revolved around the most poetic and profound of all emotions: love.
One of the most famous and popular festivals in the world
Millions of bright faces. Millions of shining eyes. This is what the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS stands for every autumn since 2005. When Berlin becomes the big glowing stage and the monuments, buildings and squares become the stars. When all of Berlin lights up! This is when we tell stories, draw attention to the hidden, present cultures, arts and innovative technology, and convey messages and current issues. Magic Moments in Berlin!
This is exactly what the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS represents with its unique light art full of diversity, innovation and luminosity. Created by the festival team, in collaboration with renowned artists from many countries.
