Südlichter Winterfestival @Südbrücke Köln // Immer Freitags - Sonntags im Dezember

In the organizer's words:

Südlichter - The winter festival at the Südbrücke in Cologne

In the middle of the dark season, perhaps the most beautiful insider tip location in Cologne is lit up: with the Südlichter, the Südbrücke presents a winter festival of lights with spectacular light art, a cosy ambience and a colorful program with lots of music, design and crafts.

On all four weekends in December, the large outdoor area, including the heated circus tent, is transformed into an atmospheric backdrop with culinary delights that invite you to linger

In cooperation with local partners and a wide range of event formats, the program will focus on different themes - for visitors of all ages!

The Neongreen Market will kick things off from December 5 to 7, setting the tone with workshops, arts and crafts and gift ideas. This will be followed by a vintage market, dance program and much more!

If you are interested in taking part or being an exhibitor, you can still register at under this link register.
