The festival under the sign of freedom
What better way to commemorate 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall than by celebrating freedom?
That’s why the 20th anniversary of the Festival of Lights is all about freedom—freedom in Berlin, in Europe, and in many countries around the world. It’s also about the freedom we wish for everyone who still dreams of it.
In this special anniversary edition, we use spectacular, breathtaking light art to tell both grand and intimate stories about the freedom that makes Berlin a vibrant metropolis of creativity, confidence, and joy. Experience the capital in a whole new light.
