With thousands of candles, impressive light installations and moving words, the Leipzig Festival of Lights 2025 was celebrated on the 9ᵗʰ of October. Five light projects by renowned artists lined a path of light that led from St Nicolas Church via Neumarkt and Schillerpark to Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz. You can see impressions of the evening here.

To ensure that everything runs smoothly on the evening of the Festival of Lights, the Festival of Lights team held a dress rehearsal the evening before. You can find impressions here.

On the day before the Festival of Lights, preparations are in full swing. Impressions of the preparations for the Leipzig Festival of Lights 2025 can be found here.
