Look forward to 17 exciting venues from Willy-Brandt-Platz to the Colosseum Theatre. These offer everything a light festival fan could wish for: spectacular light shows, video mappings, projections and varied installations – all by local, national and international artists.
Here you will find all 17 venues with detailed descriptions of the light artworks.
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.
