Program

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, illuminate Berlin’s iconic landmarks, and set our guests’ hearts aglow. This year, everything revolved around the most poetic and profound of all emotions: love.

Love has many facets and countless forms of expression. It is not just a single moment — it is all-encompassing. Over the course of ten evenings, we invited you to rediscover Berlin and fall in love with the city all over again.

The 22nd Festival of Lights took place from October 9 to 18, 2026, daily between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM.
