The salt and light festival in Bad Harzburg has a long tradition. As early as 1575, Duke Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel sponsored a salt festival to celebrate the importance of salt mining for the region. After the closure of the salt works in 1849, the festival fell into oblivion. It was only revived in 1970 and has since developed into one of the most popular festivals in the Harz Mountains.
Magic of lights: Be enchanted by the magnificent illumination of Bad Harzburg's town center. Thousands of lights, candles and lanterns immerse the town in a magical ambience.
Colorful stage variety: Look forward to a varied music program on several stages. From rock and pop to hits and folk music, there is something for everyone.
Culinary delights: You can sample delicious food and drinks from all over the world at numerous stands.
Family fun: A varied program with carousels, play stalls and face painting for children provides plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
On Saturday evening, a breathtaking firework display transforms the night sky into a colorful light show.
