Overview
SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE 2025
The eleventh edition of the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Light Festival ran in August and September 2025 at Karlsruhe Palace. As every year since 2015, the approximately 170-meter-long Baroque facade was transformed into a giant screen; the international BBBank Award winners presented their new productions in the daily rotating program.
2025 marked a milestone: the total visitor count since the festival's inception surpassed the two million mark — proof that free open-air art works and strengthens Karlsruhe's position as a city of media art. The Palace Square lawn and Palace Garden were well-filled every evening during the four weeks. Admission remained free as always.
