Open-Air Cinema Under the Lichtenfels Market Square Sky

As the evenings grow milder in mid-August, the central Lichtenfels market square transforms into an open-air cinema for three evenings. Stadtmarketing Treffpunkt Lichtenfels e.V. organizes the Lichtenfelser Kinosommer as part of the Fränkischer Kinosommer — a regional network that offers similar open-air programs in numerous Upper Franconian towns every summer.

Free Admission Thanks to Local Sponsors

What's special about the Lichtenfelser Kinosommer: The regular admission fee of 5 Euros per person is covered by local sponsors — the screening is therefore free for visitors. A conscious statement by the city and its economy, strengthening the market square as a meeting place.
