The Stuttgart Lights Festival is a family festival that is held annually in July in Stuttgart . On the occasion of the German Garden Show 1950 , the Stuttgart Festival of Lights took place in its current form for the first time on the site that had been converted for the fair. Since then it has been a fixed date in the Stuttgart event calendar.

The energy service provider Nuon, now renamed lekker Energie , became the title sponsor of the traditional event . Volkswagen Automobile Stuttgart GmbH has been the new title sponsor since 2013 .

The festival of lights starts in the afternoon in the Höhenpark Killesberg with attractions for young and old and finds its climax at night with fireworks and a light show, in sync with the musical accompaniment of classical and pop music (musical fireworks ). A family-friendly atmosphere should be created in order to create a festival for the whole family. There are numerous interactive offers, especially for children and young people. The event will be accompanied by live music from various bands on several stages. In 2018 there were around 40,000 visitors. In 2010 the Festival of Lights celebrated its 60th anniversary.
