Die Blaue Nacht | The Blue Night

2027: The Blue Night | Die Blaue Nacht returns

Nuremberg is finally turning blue again: On Saturday, 24 April 2027, Nuremberg's art and cultural institutions in the Old Town invite visitors to rediscover the city in all its diversity under the motto "So Close to the Sun" - with art, music, performances, installations and special programmes. The Blue Night Art Competition will open with a preview on Friday, 23 April 2027. The art projects can be experienced on both evenings. Tickets are valid for both days.

Die Blaue Nacht | The Blue Night is opening up new perspectives for the festival: several squares in the Old Town will become venues for programmes exploring the theme "So Close to the Sun", enticing visitors into the surrounding cultural institutions.

It is simple: wherever you see blue light, you'll find Die Blaue Nacht | The Blue Night. These blue islands lead visitors to familiar cultural institutions as well as to smaller hidden gems.

The Blue Night Art Competition

Since 2005, The Blue Night | Die Blaue Nacht has offered artists the opportunity to present their works to a larger public for two nights in the participating institutions, in courtyards, in enclosed public spaces, and on squares and streets in Nuremberg’s inner city. These works have been in a variety of media including light and sound installations, performances, participative activities and new media.
