Light magic in Chemnitz: Festival Light Our Vision illuminates the city!

In the coming months, the city of Chemnitz will be the setting for a fascinating event that will address the senses of visitors in a special way. From September 24th to September 27th, 2025, the "Light Our Vision" (LOV) festival, which is eagerly awaited, will take place here, which focuses on international light art. Blick.de reports that the motto "C the Unseen" would like to invite visitors to see the city through a new lens and to discover hidden aspects of the urban surroundings.

The festival promises to transform Chemnitz into a creative sea of ​​lights. Practically all central places in the city center are recorded by the artistic installations, including the main train station, Marienplatz, Theaterplatz, the Karl Marx Monument and the Stadthallenpark. Light installations not only emphasize the individual stories of these places, but also promote a dialogue about the future use and design of public spaces.

cultural diversity in the glow of lights

One of the main goals of the festival is to bring the cultural diversity and creative potential of Chemnitz '. The organizers rely on participatory elements that actively integrates the local population. Workshops, tours and interactive installations create a sense of community and enable visitors to experience art up close. The positive encouragement to similar events, such as [AK Saxony] (https://www.aksachsen.org/baukultur/chemnitz-kultur capital-Europas-2025/), speaks for the high interest of the citizens and underlines the relevance of such projects for urban development.

At the last light art festival, which took place in September 2025, over 50,000 visitors were counted. Marienplatz in particular turned out to be a central attraction, where the most impressive international installations could be admired. A similar enthusiasm is expected this year too, since the city with "Light Our Vision" not only strives for a festival for the senses, but also an exchange about cultural identity and living together in urban spaces.

sustainability and the role of art

Another exciting aspect of the festival is the focus on sustainability - both in the technical implementation and in the long -term effects on urban development. [The learning city] (https://die-nernende-stadt.de/kreatives-urbanes-design-kunst-im-officht-raum/) emphasizes how art in public spaces not only improves aesthetic perception, but also contributes to the formation of identity of the city. Creative urban design revives neglected places and strengthened the commitment.

With innovative approaches, such as interactive installations and digital technologies, the visitor is invited to actively participate in the action. These formats not only promote the commitment of the residents, but also strengthen the sense of responsibility for the design of their surroundings. This not only creates a nice sight, but also a lively dialogue between art, city and society.

With "Light Our Vision", Chemnitz will once more become a place where culture and community go hand in hand. The festival offers the unique opportunity not only to rediscover the city, but also to actively participate in its artistic and cultural development. Get ready to experience Chemnitz in the light of art!
