Evening Glow transforms the Böfingen forest into a glowing art landscape
When dusk falls over Ulm-Böfingen on October 29, 2026, a special concert experience without a classical concert stage begins: During Evening Glow, the forest becomes a nightly gallery. Along a roughly two-kilometer-long walking path, visitors will discover numerous light art stations that bathe the autumn forest in colors, shadows, and moving images.
Light art that grows from the neighborhood
Evening Glow combines professional light art with installations created together with people from Böfingen. Works by artists coincide with contributions from schools, senior homes, the library, and the family center. This creates a multifaceted community artwork that showcases neighborhood culture and transforms the forest into an atmospheric stage.
Walk with sound, dance, and fire show
The approximately 30 stations will be accompanied by a varied supporting program. Dance-light performances, theater, fire shows, readings, and live music repeatedly set new accents. On October 29, MokaSounds will provide musical accompaniment in the light village Lumina, while Prometheus Fire Show enlivens the schoolyard with spectacular light moments.
An evening for families, culture fans, and explorers
Blacklight face painting, a bubble station, and walkable installations make Evening Glow an accessible experience for different generations. Visitors move at their own pace through the dusk and experience how acoustics, light, movement, and nature combine into an extraordinary stage performance.
Important information for the visit
The tour is open on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM. The entrance is located at the gym of the Eduard-Mörike School at Hofäckerweg 84. Admission is based on flexible donations; a contribution starting at 1 euro is suggested as a guideline. Due to limited parking options, the organizer recommends arriving by public transport. Tram line 1 goes to the Egertweg stop, from where the event site is reachable in just a few minutes on foot.
Conclusion: Böfingen shines
Evening Glow is more than a walk through the forest: It is a sensory light art hike, a community cultural project, and an atmospheric evening for all who wish to experience Ulm from a new perspective. Anyone wanting to experience light, sound, movement, and autumnal forest ambiance live should not miss this special experience in Böfingen.
