The diversity of facilities and cultures in the east of Leipzig is a fascinating reflection of the spirit of the district. OSTLichter 2016 provides experiences of this cultural diversity, which is as colourful as the people who are at home here.
The opening of this year's OSTLichter will take place as part of the 5th Bülow Street Music Festival on 3 September. From 15 to 22 hrs eleven musicians and bands provide a colourful, multi-facetted repertoire of street music in the captivating Bülow district at the end of Eisenbahnstraße. People can get in the mood for music on 31 August and 2 September at the thirteenth Leipzig Song Festival, the singer/songwriter open air event in Lene-Voigt Park.
Until 16 October the programme of the OSTLichter Festival offers a wide and diverse range of events. Some of these make it necessary for visitors to actively explore the eastern district of the city. Interesting walks and expeditions are an invitation to get to know what the east of Leipzig has to offer. Three different audio-walks have also been prepared.
Further highlights are the 'Open Space Day of Activities' (Freiraum-Aktionstag) on 10 September 2016, the 'International Festival of the Dance', the 'Flimmergarten' film festival in the Querbeet communal garden, the Help*Festival and, as the crowning event of the culture festival, the 'Festival of Lights at Night' on 16 October.
