Die Blaue Nacht

Welcome to DIE BLAUE NACHT 2025

Dear visitors!

Bürgermeisterin Prof. Julia Lehner © Stadt Nürnberg/Thomas Langer

A warm welcome to all our guests from abroad, too! “Messages” is this year’s theme for our Long Night of Art and Culture. Join us for two evenings and experience Nuremberg’s varied cultural scene.

    Over 50 culture sites will open their doors for exhibitions, concerts, readings, activities to join, light art shows – something for everybody, big and small. In the programme - you will find it on the website at Programm Freitag (programm friday) and at "Programm Samstag" (programm aaturday), English language information is always in italics. We have particularly marked programme items which can be enjoyed without knowledge of German. A warm thank-you to our main sponsors, NÜRNBERGER Versicherung, N-ERGIE Aktiengesellschaft for their loyal support over a long time, and a welcome to our new sponsor, VR Bank Metroplregion Nürnberg. I would also like to thank all new and all familiar supporters and art sponsors, all members of staff of the culture institutions involved, all artists, and last but not least the team of the Project Office.

    Prof. Dr. Julia Lehner
    City of Nuremberg Mayor in charge of culture

    For one person accompanying a disabled person (ID marked with “B”), entrance to Blaue Nacht is free. Children under 14 may discover DIE BLAUE NACHT without a ticket, if they are accompanied by an adult. Please bring ID and remember that you will have to buy a public transport ticket for the children, since they do not travel free of charge.

    In 2025, too, we will provide landmarks for visitors to the Blaue Nacht with illuminated information pillars. They will be placed next to the works of art participating in the Blaue Nacht Art Competition and at important event locations, and they will provide interesting information about these events. In addition, the façades of all institutions involved in DIE BLAUE NACHT will be highlighted in blue.
