The sun slowly sets over the rooftops of Munich, twilight falls, and hundreds of shimmering lanterns illuminate the dark water . The Water Lantern Festival is a celebration of life, love, hope, and community.
On August 7 and 8, the Olympic Lake will transform into a breathtaking sea of lights. Sign up for the waiting list now and secure this unforgettable experience. It’s worth it, because the great atmosphere starts even before the highlight of the evening.
The Water Lantern Festival will be an evening full of magic and togetherness

Before the glowing lanterns are set afloat at sunset, you can design your very own lantern: a silent wish for the future, a loving message to someone special, or a pattern that holds meaning only for you.
Your lantern becomes an expression of your innermost thoughts and deepest wishes.
When all these individual points of light dance together on the water, an incomparable sense of togetherness emerges. This evening moment transforms into a shared future, drifting silently before you on the water.
Everything at this festival is designed to create a great atmosphere

The festival offers the perfect setting for a great evening with family, friends, or a romantic date. Long before the actual highlight begins on the water, the entire venue transforms into a laid-back oasis of well-being that appeals to all the senses.
Local restaurateurs will pull up in their food trucks and treat you to street food that leaves nothing to be desired. At the same time, the acoustic sounds of local musicians will set the mood and provide a relaxing soundtrack to the sunset.
This dreamlike atmosphere is the perfect opportunity to meet new people, laugh with friends, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance to the fullest.
