The Berlin Light Festival, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an annual international event that transforms landmarks and buildings across Berlin, Germany, with illuminations, luministic projections, and 3D mapping. This free festival typically takes place from September to October, turning structures, streets, and squares, including the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin TV Tower, into a grand glowing stage. Since its inception in 2005, the festival has presented diverse light art, innovative technology, and stories through its visual displays, often accompanied by music and special events like a "light run".
