Our Community Impact

Illuminating Berlin!

Berliner Dom (Cathedral) with Television Tower to the right

As night falls earlier and earlier in autumn and plunges the city into darkness, Berlin is transformed into a wonderland of colorful “light art” for the annual Festival of Lights Berlin from October 10 - 19. For 10 days each October, famous historic city landmarks, monuments, buildings and places are illuminated with artistic light installations. Converting the city into what feels like a gigantic exhibition space, international and local artists present their ideas, stories and messages into artful displays using 3D art, projections, video art or illuminations.

The event, spread across two days, begins on Saturday with the Bambini Run, a 500 and 1,000 meter run for children, a mini Marathon and Inline skating marathon. On Sunday, the main event takes place with wheelchair users, hand bikers and elite runners or individuals seeking to achieve a personal best.
