Discover the Magic of Light

Essen Light Festival 2023

29th September to 8th October 2023

This year, EMG - Essen Marketing GmbH presents a compact festival on a route of just under 2 kilometres between the main railway station and Viehofer Platz with 17 different venues that really do offer everything a light festival should: spectacular light shows and video mapping, gamings and a wide variety of installations - local and international.

Here you will find all 17 venues with detailed descriptions of the light artworks.

Part of:

Essen will shine brighter than ever as part of the IMAGINE PEACE Project — a European Union co-funded collaboration celebrating cultural diversity, peace, and sustainability across five European cities: Brixen Waterlight Festival, Essen Light Festival, Copenhagen Light Fest, Fjord Oslo and Visualia Festival Pula.

7 Artworks will be shown among the 5 European Light Festivals starting this September until April 2027.

Join us as we illuminate the path toward a better tomorrow through transnational art, community, and connection.
