LUMAGICA Magdeburg
Magdeburg’s Fairy-Tale World
When the Elbauenpark once again transforms into a sparkling sea of lights during the dark winter months, LUMAGICA returns to Magdeburg – this time with a world premiere themed “Magdeburg’s Fairy-Tale World.”
This year, guests can look forward to an enchanting journey through the world’s most famous fairy tales and stories. Along a roughly two-kilometer-long loop trail, visitors will immerse themselves in an imaginative world of light where characters like Pinocchio, Aladdin, Snow White, and Sinbad come to life. Impressive light sculptures, immersive soundscapes, and lovingly designed scenes bring childhood memories back to life and create an experience for all the senses.
With over 300 impressive light installations, thousands of twinkling lights, and numerous interactive elements, the park is transformed into a radiant work of art. This magical world of light can be experienced at Elbauenpark from October 2 through January 6, 2027.
LUMAGICA Magdeburg—a magical experience full of light, fairy tales, and unforgettable moments!
