Emmerich im Lichterglanz

Emmerich im Lichterglanz 2025 was held on Saturday, July 26, by the WfG Emmerich and the City of Emmerich on the Rhine promenade and in the Rhine park. Admission was free; the festival grounds opened at 4:00 PM.

From 5:00 PM, the stage program ran along the promenade with live bands and solo artists in pop, rock, and Schlager. Food trucks and stalls offered potato pancakes, Lower Rhine and Dutch specialties, cocktails, and drinks. Several shipping companies organized special trips with buffet, DJ, and champagne reception on board.

The pyrotechnic highlight, as in previous years, was the musically synchronized fireworks around 11:00 PM, launched from the middle Rhine arm and lasting over twenty minutes. With the widest point of the German Rhine as its natural stage, the fireworks are among the most highly regarded on the entire Lower Rhine.
