For eight weeks, the Lichtblüten Festival will turn parts of northern Saxony-Anhalt into a stage for light, art and culture. Weekend events will take place at 17 locations across the Altmark, the Elbe-Havel region and Jerichower Land through the end of October.
The festival opens in Gardelegen's St. Nicholas Church. Visitors can expect light shows, music, art activities, illuminations and fire performances, with each location receiving its own artistic and musical treatment.
Organisers have expanded the festival after its first two editions in 2022 and 2024. After Gardelegen, the programme will move to Tangerhütte, Krumke, the Hanseatic town of Seehausen, Jerichow, Ipse, Kamern and Lindstedt. The closing event is planned for October 30 in Neulingen near Arendsee.
Admission is free to every event.
