About
The Festival of Lights is Berlin's yearly autumn light festival, when landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Cathedral, the TV Tower and Potsdamer Platz are lit up with colourful projections and light art, free to see on a walk. In 2026 it runs 9 to 18 October with the motto 'Color of Love', daily from 19:00 to 23:00, and for the first time the Olympiastadion is included.
