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.
Special events during the Festival of Lights
- Aside from the light projections, the Festival of Lights also includes various art and music events as well as guided tours that go by the name LightSeeing: Visitors can tour the highlights of the festival by bus, boat or, of course, on foot. Photography workshops, open house at selected buildings and charity events are part of the festival.
Illuminations in the Berlin city centre
- The participating monuments are mainly in the city centre. They are illuminated daily from 7 pm until midnight, though some projections are of shorter duration and may be displayed only once. The full list of participating buildings, a map and some photos of this year’s displays is available at the official Festival of Lights website.festival too.
