Final night of Berlin's Festival of Lights 2026
The 'Colours of Love' edition of Berlin's Festival of Lights closes on 18 October after ten nights of projections at around 40 landmarks.
Articles across Berliner Zeitung, Tagesspiegel and berlin.de focus on the closing night of the 2026 Festival of Lights on 18 October. Running from 9 to 18 October under the motto 'Colours of Love', the festival lit up around 40 locations across the city every evening from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., including the Brandenburg Gate, Berliner Dom, Funkturm and large stretches of Mitte. After 11 p.m. the programme continued in several Berlin clubs. Highlights included 'Festival of Lights in Concert' at the Berliner Dom with DJs Alle Farben, Klangkarussell, Westbam, Anja Schneider, Chris Bekker and Ukãi Ndame. Berliner Zeitung's guide 'Wo Berlin noch bis 18. Oktober am schönsten leuchtet' remained one of the most-read service pieces of the week, listing the best vantage points and recommended routes for the last night of projections.
