Lichterfest an der Alten Donau 2019

A light show on the river

Lichterfest an der Alten Donau 2019

When: SAT, July 27, 7pm–11pm
Where: Alte Donau
Entry: free!

The Alte Donau will come alive with light this Saturday, as the annual Lichterfest kicks off. The key to coming to this event is finding a good spot to watch the spectacle, and getting there early enough to set up picnic and camp, so you can watch the boats cruise by, all covered in their pretty lights and watch the huge firework display once the sun is down, Spritzer in hand – 1, 2, 3: Awwwwwww!

Recommended if you like: pretty lights, fireworks, picnics, night swims, skinny dipping, radlers, spritzers, boats, pirates, romantic pirates, commandeering a vessel and sailing upstream to invade Paris…
