Light art in Kiel
Presented by Kieler Woche, organised by Kiel-Marketing.
Last year, the fourth edition of the Kieler Lichtermeer (Kiel's sea of lights) staged effective displays on building facades and selective artistic attention-grabbing elements throughout the city centre and in Holtenauer Straße. Visitors were able to enjoy all facets of music, art and light at over 10 different locations along the large light route.
Walking acts, light shows and stylishly arranged parks amazed young and old alike. The light installations on the large light route began at dusk. In addition, Kiel's shops opened their doors for an extensive Sunday shopping tour from 1pm to 6pm under the motto "I feel Kiel".
