This year too Berlin is ready to amaze with extraordinary special effects, transforming itself into a real enchanted city. The most beautiful places, museums, monuments, squares and attractions will be visible in a different light, thanks to the Berlin Festival of Lights. It is one of the most anticipated events of the year, now in its 19th edition. An exhibition that, never like this year, promises to be of great impact, under the motto “Colors of Life“.

The basic idea is to show beauty and diversity through the different forms of art. A festival that winks, therefore, at the highest values of society such as respect, dignity and tolerance.

The best international artists will be present, with extraordinary 3D effects and magnificent installations. An event that combines tradition and innovation, with a careful and vigilant look also at the social aspect. About two million (!) Visitors will be expected at this event. An event that, in terms of effects and installations, is one of the most interesting in the world panorama, with Lyon, Moscow and Sydney.

During the ten days of the Berlin Festival of Lights, the city is transformed into a huge open-air stage. You can admire the greatest artists of the illuminations; listen to them as they tell stories, draw attention to detail, and present their cultures, arts, crafts and messages. The historical places of Berlin, the streets, squares, and all the most fashionable and interesting districts, will be set up with extraordinary light installations. In addition, the strong civic commitment and social responsibility on the part of the organizers, with important charity projects, should be noted.
