Kronach shines! The highlights of the festive year 2025 in pictures

January 1, 2026 is a perfect time to look back on the year 2025, which was a real year of celebration for the Kronach district. A colorful potpourri of events made the region blossom. The celebrations surrounding carnival, light art and vintage car events in particular attracted numerous visitors. [Fränkischer Tag](https://www.fraenkischertag.de/lokales/kronach/rat-wissen/im-video-so-auslassen-hat-der-kreis-kronach-2025-ge Feiert-art-506410) reports that the best moments are captured in an accompanying video, which impressively shows the exuberance and joy of the celebrations.

Particularly noteworthy is the impressive light art festival “Kronach shines”, which took place from April 25th to May 3rd, 2025. With the aim of underlining the historical charm of the city, the festival was held around the Rosenberg Fortress. A free pre-program in the upper town and a two-kilometer-long illuminated promenade through the ramparts and the adjacent forest left nothing to be desired. Licht.de highlights that both well-known and new works by national and international artists could be admired - a true feast for the senses!

A feast for the senses

The festival offered an experience for young and old in various parts. The day ended with a meditative light show in the town parish church, which created a very special atmosphere. There were daily light tours for anyone who wanted to find out more about the works of art, while those who made a quick decision could use an audio guide to learn more about the artists and their visions while walking through the illuminated art spots. Each exhibit also had a QR code that provided exciting insights.

The motto “Feel good, discover, be amazed” ran like a common thread through the entire event. The impressive illuminations from Coburg University to the town parish church provided an atmospheric conclusion to each evening. It is recommended that visitors wear sturdy shoes in order to be able to fully enjoy the variety of works of art and the atmosphere.

A consistently colorful calendar of events is also guaranteed in 2026. The Cultural Calendar of the Kronach District promises numerous highlights and invites you to discover the regional cultural offerings.
