Come and enjoy the spectacle of a countryside illuminated in the radiance of the “Rhine in Flames”. On five occasions between May and September different stretches of the Rhine are illuminated, with spectacular firework displays above the river and its historic landscape.

“Rhine in Flames” between Spay and Koblenz – The biggest night out on the Rhine takes place every second Saturday in August. “Rhine in Flames” marks its arrival by lighting up the night sky between the Rhine village of Spay and Deutsches Eck in Koblenz where the Rhine and Mosel converge. This stunning pyrotechnic display, featuring colourful fountains, Catherine wheels and crackling comets, has enthralled visitors in their thousands for decades now.

The event begins along the Rhine between Spay/Braubach and Koblenz. Traditionally, a large procession of passenger ships forms part of the spectacle, giving guests memorable views of castles, palaces and riverside promenades illuminated along the route. The exact ship programme can vary according to river and operating conditions.

The final display in Koblenz is accompanied by music and forms a spectacular finale above Ehrenbreitstein Fortress and Deutsches Eck, the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel.
