Light Sunday in Wittenberge: festive atmosphere and surprises!
On Sunday, November 9th, 2025, Wittenberg's city center will shine in festive splendor. On this special day, numerous shops invite you to Sunday shopping, organized by the Wittenberg Interest Ring, which has organized a great supporting program. The festive lighting creates a homely atmosphere, while musical performances and culinary delicacies pamper visitors. Numerous stands offer bratwurst, quark balls, roasted almonds and hot drinks - the culinary delights shouldn't be neglected either! [maz-online.de]. Rides are happy.
The event also offers a very special attraction: a traditional lantern parade, led by city guide Jürgen Schmidt, parades through the festively illuminated Bahnstrasse. This parade is accompanied musically by the group Cultus Ferox, who bring medieval sounds with them. There is great anticipation for this parade, as it has been part of the Lights Sunday tradition for many years and regularly attracts many visitors. The event is rounded off with an impressive LED show in front of the Culture and Festival Hall, in which hundreds of guests take part. The KFH is illuminated in bright colors, which gives the conclusion a festive setting.
New products and customer offers
A highlight this year is the LED installations used for the first time in the trusses of Bahnstrasse, complemented by a laser light display that is stretched across the street. A fog machine creates an even more impressive atmosphere and gives the festive atmosphere that certain something. The shops have also come up with a lot of ideas: from the Wilhelmine Kaffee waffle stand from Wittstock to grilled food from the Westprignitz ostrich farm and alpaca products from the Elbtal Alpakahof - the culinary offering is varied and extensive. nordkurier.de emphasizes that creativity is not neglected either - dealers are exhibiting chic woodwork by Ramona Drawanz.
The tourist information center in the Culture and Festival Hall is also celebrating a long-awaited anniversary on this day: 35 years have passed since the facility first moved to its current premises. Children and adults can look forward to numerous anniversary promotions with raffles and small surprises that take place on Saturday and Sunday. This is another reason not to miss the event!
Festivals of Light in a broader context
With its Sunday of Lights, Wittenberge joins a number of European light festivals that are offered during the autumn and winter months. For example, this Amsterdam Light Festival, which takes place from November 27, 2025 to January 18, 2026 and attracts many visitors with an impressive festival route of 6.5 kilometers. But also those Autumn lights in Bridgehead Park or that Sea of lights on the Baltic Sea show how much light is valued in the dark season.
Thus, the Wittenberg Sunday of Lights not only offers a nice little celebration, but also becomes part of a much larger tradition of light and community - a chance to celebrate together and welcome the end of the year with joy and light.
