One of the most famous and popular festivals in the world

Every year in Fall Berlin becomes the city of light art. The light productions on the world-famous landmarks, monuments, buildings and squares of the German capital make the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS one of the most popular light art festivals in the world. Together with national and international artists, the Festival of Lights Team transforms Berlin into one big shining stage – the whole of Berlin lights up! We tell stories, draw attention to what is hidden in the neighbourhoods, present cultures and arts, transport messages and themes. Magic moments in Berlin!

The Festival of Lights is under the patronage of the governing mayor: Michael Müller.

It was a pleasure for us to experience the 16th Festival of Lights in a special edition with you!

We thank all of our great partners from the bottom of our hearts for sharing our mission in this extraordinary year. A special thank you to our visitors, light-loving fans and friends for their support, motivation and positive energy!

And of course to our presenter e.on!

Glowing regards,

Your Festival of Lights – Team

10 Nights. 100 Locations. 100.000 qm Art.

In October 2019, Berlin became the largest open air gallery in the world: The most important landmarks, buildings and squares shone in sensational projections, magical 3D video shows and impressive light installations around this year’s theme “Lights of Freedom”. On the occasion of the big event “30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall” we transformed the City of Freedom into a gigantic stage and told stories that move: expressive, emotional, amusing, surprising, unexpected. The Berlin Festival of Lights thus connects cultures and people all over the world and easily crosses borders and continents – because light speaks all languages.
