Berlin Festival of Lights 2022

Berlin Festival of Lights 2022

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! The city itself is transformed into a glowing stage and the landmarks, monuments, buildings, streets and squares become stars.

Berlin Festival of Lights tells stories, draws attention to what is hidden in the neighbourhoods, presents cultures and arts and transports messages and themes. Magic moments in Berlin.

All illuminations at the approximately 70 locations will light up between 8.21pm and midnight every day from 03rd-12th of September 2021.
