Calling "We are the people" and "No violence", around 70,000 people gathered on October 9, 1989, to march along Leipzig's inner city ring road, demonstrating for freedom and democracy and thus paving the way for the fall of the Wall, for the unity of Germany and Europe. The dramatic events of autumn 1989 still move people today.

Until January 31st 2023, the Leipzig Festival of Lights was looking for outdoor artistic projects to be presented along Leipzig's inner-city ring road on October 9th 2024. The Call for Artists is now closed. Further applications cannot be considered.

If you are interested in participating in the Leipzig Festival of Lights 2025, you are welcome to send your portfolio to Lichtfest@ltm-leipzig.de
