Potsdam Palace Night

Potsdamer Schlössernacht

Each summer, the parks and palaces of Potsdam invite visitors to celebrate the bygone pomp and glory of the Prussian Kings with concerts, dance performances and many other attractions.

In 2027, the Potsdam Palace Night (German: Potsdamer Schlössernacht) will take place for the 27th time. Each year, the event is held under a special theme. The theme for the 2027 Potsdam Palace Night has not yet been announced.

Prussia's Baroque Splendor in the UNESCO World Heritage Site

Nowhere is Prussian Baroque more glamorous, opulent and romantic than in Sanssouci Park. Palaces and gardens present themselves in a landscape of incomparable harmony. The former summer paradise of the Prussian kings near the capital Berlin is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once a year, you can experience the park magnificently illuminated in a romantic night-time atmosphere. This much is certain: Anyone who visits Sanssouci on this night will have unforgettable images in their mind. A wide range of culinary delights are on offer for your physical well-being. At midnight, fireworks light up the sky above the New Palace.
