The incredible fireworks display takes place four times during the summer season.

Rhine in Flames

Join the celebration along the bank of the Rhine as the river and the skies light up.

All along the riverbanks there is music and good views of the fireworks.

As the name implies, the Rhine literally 'bursts into flames'!

Every year between May and September, you can join the spectacular fireworks of the Rhine in Flames show. Suddenly the castles are illuminated in green and red, the darkness explodes in a thousand glittering stars and the towers and turrets are bathed in the mysterious glow of Bengal lights. Whilst up on the heights it seems as if a volcano is erupting, the river below has become a shimmering sea of coloured lights.

River boats large and small take part in the flotilla at night. Spectacularly decked out in their finest colours, you can gain a truly up-close experience. As the name implies, the Rhine literally 'bursts into flames', and this event is repeated at different locations along the river.

The towns and villages along the Rhine offer a varied support programme during the event.
