Water Light Festival

Our editorial team always tries to provide detailed and accurate information, but it is possible that events undergo changes that we are unable to update in real time. Exact details on dates, times and programmes can be obtained directly from the organiser.
The impressive art festival in Brixen and the surrounding area will once again provide a magical atmosphere and unforgettable moments.

From 29 April to 16 May 2026, the Water Light Festival, will take place in Brixen. This special event enchants its visitors by illuminating the city in spectacular lights, creating a unique atmosphere.

Numerous artists from South Tyrol and all over the world will present various light installations and works of art, focussing on water points and cultural and historical treasures. These locations are thus reinterpreted and transformed, so to speak, into an open-air gallery centred around the theme of water and light. The focus is on reflections on ecological, economic and social aspects.

Water turns into life, light into art – that's the promise of the Brixen Water Light Festival. The next edition will take place in 2026 as part of IMAGINE PEACE. This project strengthens the collaboration and sense of connection between 5 European light festivals, which in addition to Brixen also take place in Copenhagen, Essen, Oslo and Pula.
