Berlin is diversity

It is precisely this diversity that we stage on Berlin’s famous landmarks. In our own special way: bright, radiant, colourful – and artistic. In the Colors of Diversity.

We want to use light art to show how colourful and beautiful life is in a diverse society. How we can all win with mutual respect and appreciation. And how a creative diversity emerges from very different ways of living, which always brings forth something new and exciting. Not only in Berlin.

Diversity shines bright

Uniqueness, dignity, respect and acceptance. These are some of the values we would like to draw attention to with the Colors of Diversity at the Festival of Lights 2023.

Because: Every human being is unique. His or her dignity must not be violated by anyone. Every way of living, loving and being deserves the same respect. Differences make all our lives more colourful – and better.

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 has stood 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 stood for, with its unique light art full of diversity, innovation and luminosity. Created by the festival team, in collaboration with renowned artists from many countries.
