Light staging in Vitalpark

The Lichterfest in Vitalpark Bad Sachsa uses the park's natural topography with the Schmelzteich pond as a central water feature for an extensive light staging. Thousands of LED lights, candles, string lights, path lights, and floating light elements create a dreamlike atmosphere that unfolds its full effect after sunset.

Live music with Two Voices and friends

The group Two Voices and friends provides the musical backdrop with a program of acoustic cover classics, original compositions, and atmospheric songs that complement the light staging. The open-air stage is set up centrally in the Vitalpark, supplemented by subtle sound systems in other park areas.

Grand fireworks display

The highlight of the evening is the grand fireworks display over the Schmelzteich pond. The water surface reflects the light effects, intensifying the impact. The fireworks are accompanied by music and are designed to last approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
