By FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

Each year in October, Berlin turns into a city full of light art. The artful displays on the famous landmarks, monuments, buildings and places are turning the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS into one of the best known light art festivals in the world. National as well as international artists are presenting their brilliant light installations and thus, transform the city into a huge stage. They tell stories, draw attention to the special and present their cultures, arts, crafts and messages. Berlin landmarks, historical places, streets, squares, trendy neighborhoods and hotspots of recent history are staged with light.

The festival is under the patronage of the Governing Mayor of Berlin, Michael Müller.

10 Nights. 100 Locations. 100.000 sq.m. of Arts.

Once again, Berlin will turn into the largest open-air gallery in the world: and again, the most important landmarks, building and squares will be enlighted with sensational projections, magical 3D-Videoshow and breathtaking light installations related to this year’s theme “Lights of Freedom”. On the occasion of the anniversary “30 years fall of the Berlin Wall” we will transform the city of freedom into a colossal stage and tell touching stories: expressive, emotional, amusing, surprising and unexpected. The Berlin Festival Of Lights connects diverse cultures and people throughout the world and easily transcends borders and continents – because lights speaks all languages.

The Festival of Lights is one of the most elaborate and popular lighting festivals in the world and attracts over two million visitors every year. Lighting artists from all over the world create brilliant projections, 3D video mappings as well as lighting installations all over the city.

This year the Festival of Lights will once again transform Berlin into a city of lights. The monuments, buildings, streets, quarters and squares will be illuminated by artistic productions and carry the messages, themes and contents of the light artists.
