Overview

The 68th edition of the Klever Lichterfest in September 2025 continued the decades-long tradition: hundreds of candles, light installations, and the grand baroque fireworks display in the Forstgarten — one of the most popular events of the late Lower Rhine summer, with free admission from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM.

Looking Back at 2025

The 68th edition of the Klever Lichterfest took place in September 2025, as is traditional, in the Forstgarten Kleve. Hundreds of candles and light installations transformed the historic baroque garden into an illuminated stage. Live music on several stages accompanied the evening, and culinary stands offered food and drinks. The evening traditionally culminated in the grand baroque fireworks display around 10:00 PM, which bathed the sky above Kleve and the Schwanenburg castle in color.

Free admission. As in previous years, the Lichterfest attracted tens of thousands of visitors from the western Lower Rhine, Münsterland, and the neighboring Dutch provinces — one of the largest free city festivals in the region.
