Light Festival in Leipzig: Dry weather and 12 degrees await visitors!
Today, October 9, 2025, an evening full of light and meaning awaits Leipzig, during which Festival of Light opened its doors. The anticipation is growing because the weather is up in the air and the forecasts are promising. According to MDR SACHSEN weather reporter Susanne Langhans, it stays dry between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., which benefits the festival in Schillerpark.
The signs are good for everyone who is looking forward to the event. High-resolution weather models from the German Weather Service and Kachelmann GmbH confirm this drought. At a mild 12 degrees Celsius and light winds, the tea lights, which form the significant year number “89”, can burn undisturbed. A symbol of change that points to the peaceful revolution in the GDR.
Weather forecast: Mild conditions
The general weather situation today is characterized by a northwesterly current that brings moist and mild air to Germany. How dwd.de reported, the influence of high pressure is increasing from the southwest. While a freshening wind can be felt in the north and northeast, it often remains light wind in the rest of the country.
Although fog could affect visibility in higher mountain areas, Leipzig offers the best conditions for the Festival of Light. While dense fog may roll in on Friday night, especially in the northwest, there is a good chance that the weather will remain stable over the city.
An event at an important location
St. Nicholas Church, considered one of the most important places of the peaceful revolution, will be at the center of the celebrations during the Festival of Light. Its walls tell stories of courage and change and provide the perfect setting for a celebration that both commemorates the past and looks to the future.
The switched-on tea lights create an impressive image that captivates both local residents and tourists. At a time when memories of social change are particularly valuable, the festival sets an example for peace and unity.
Get ready to experience Leipzig in a radiant light and be inspired by the moving history that pulsates in every glow!
