Support the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Karlsruhe via the circle of friends of the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE

Over 250,000 people visit the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Light Festival in Karlsruhe every year. The event, which was held for the first time in 2015 to celebrate the city's 300th birthday, has become a well-established part of Karlsruhe's summer. Thanks to a financial contribution from the City of Karlsruhe and the support of good partners and sponsors, admission is free of charge for visitors. The association Freundeskreis der SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Karlsruhe was founded to secure long-term funding. The aim is to collect donations in order to maintain the quality and variety of the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE in economically challenging times and to further develop the event.

Let it shine!
