Lichterfest Schwetzingen

In the organizer's words:

On July 19, 2025, the traditional Festival of Lights will once again delight visitors from the entire Rhine-Neckar region.

A magnificently illuminated castle garden is the festive setting for more than 12 event areas, where artists offer a variety of performances from all areas of music, dance and entertainment for the whole family. It is almost impossible to take in everything on offer that evening, but everyone will find something to suit their taste:

Comedy with Chako Habekost, a concert with the famous guitar duo Café del Mundo. Music from the "United States Army Europe & Africa Band and Chorus", the "Asparagus Big Band" or from the party band "Me and the Heat", from the musical tribute show "Music of Queen". You can expect oriental veil dances at the mosque, classical ballet and Voice of Violin at the Apollo Temple and a pyromaniac fire show on the main stage.

There is also a great children's area with theater, play equipment and clowns, as well as a baroque ambience with costumes, music and exciting lectures on the history of the garden. Mannheim DJs provide club music and there is an Aperol Lounge at the Minerva Temple for those seeking peace and quiet.

The event traditionally ends with a garden illuminated by 2000 flaming bowls and a magnificent firework display.

You are cordially invited.
