Come and join in on a spectacular evening of dazzling lights, colours and shapes at the Lantern Light Festival in Cologne! Following the success of the event in the city of Berlin, the Lantern Light Festival is hosting its first event in the city of Cologne, at the unique Odonien.

Lanterns, lights, and more!

Taking place from October 4 to October 5, the Lantern Light Festival celebrates the beginning of autumn by inviting everyone to a glowing evening of Chinese lanterns, lights and lamp decorations. During this illuminating weekend, visitors can bask in the brilliance of lanterns of all shapes and sizes, different art installations and decorative pieces.

A special light performance will take place, lighting up the entire evening and keeping visitors entertained and enthralled, while the mulled wine bar will provide plenty of local food and German beer in case anyone is in need of refreshments.
