The Festival of Lights (Lichterfest) is one of the most popular classical open-air events in Düsseldorf.

Taking place every summer in the Benrather Schloss park, next to the beautifully illuminated castle and Lake Spiegelweiher, guests can look forward to a magical evening with music by the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker and a grand firework show.

Experience a romantic, classical evening at the Festival of Lights

The Festival of Lights has been a highlight of the city’s cultural calendar for a number of years, drawing in crowds of up to 10.000 visitors.

The Düsseldorfer Symphoniker creates a special programme for each event that will take attendees on a fascinating journey with stirring classical music. As always, the concert will be accompanied by a light and firework show, which illuminates the surrounding castle and lake for an unforgettable evening.

In order to ensure an even more spectacular evening, event organisers have created a special premium package: including front-row seats on the southern castle stairs and a special picnic with international delicacies and drinks before and during the break, it sounds like the perfect romantic night for two.

All visitors are of course welcome to bring their own picnic baskets to enjoy during the evening. You can also choose to purchase a pre-made picnic from the Schlosscafe, which includes fresh bread, salami, cheese selection, spreads, quiches, sweet treats and champagne.
