Once a year, Wilhelmshaven reveals its romantic and magical side: During the Sea of ​​Lights in September 2025, the south beach will be transformed into a sparkling work of art. As the sun slowly sinks into the sea and evening falls, the spectacle begins: life-sized LED sculptures, colorful light installations, laser shows, and fire dancers immerse the promenade in an incomparable ambiance. The lantern parade is particularly popular, with children walking through the night with their glowing lanterns, and the beach is illuminated by hundreds of tiny lights.

What makes the Sea of ​​Lights special is its atmosphere: It’s not a noisy festival, but rather an atmospheric, poetic experience. Visitors stroll leisurely along the water, are enchanted by the colorful projections, and enjoy live music and small artistic performances. This makes the evening an unforgettable highlight – for couples, families, or friends alike.

Although the exact program for 2025 has not yet been published, you can look forward to a blend of art, light, and maritime romance again this year. In recent years, the event has developed into one of the most beautiful autumn highlights in Wilhelmshaven, attracting guests from all over the region.
