Festival of Lights in Bad Sachsa

A First-Class Event at Vitalpark Bad Sachsa

Set against a beautiful sea of lights, the Vitalpark Bad Sachsa on Saturday, August 1, 2026. GLC Glücksburg Consulting AG, which operates the Bad Sachsa Tourist Information Center, invites you to its popular “Festival of Lights” starting at 6:00 p.m., during which thousands of LED lights and candles will transform Bad Sachsa’s Vitalpark into an atmospheric and romantic sea of lights. You’ll enjoy great live music from the band Two Voices and Friends and a varied program of activities, including amazing stilt walking and a creative arts-and-crafts station. The colorful lantern parade around the Schmelzteich is also particularly popular with young and old alike, as the lights are reflected in the lake’s water.

Various local vendors will be on hand with their booths throughout the evening to provide refreshments.
