When the garden comes alive in warm light
The Botanical Garden, with its over 3000 plant species, themed gardens, and tranquil location by the Siebentischpark, is considered one of the premier addresses for special event experiences in Augsburg. During the Light Magic, the facility unfolds its full event atmosphere: trees, shrubs, and flowers appear entirely new after dark, familiar paths seem mysterious, and a day trip turns into a charming evening stroll.

An evening for walkers, connoisseurs, and garden fans
The format combines a relaxed audience atmosphere with clear event planning. The garden remains open until midnight, and the chestnut garden gastronomy invites guests to enjoy a drink at dusk. Those who wish to extend the evening will find a mix of nature, light design, and summer enjoyment culture that appeals to couples as well as families and friendship groups.

Organization with experience and a municipal touch
The Botanical Garden is operated by the city of Augsburg, which has been managing this historic facility since 1936, transforming it into a magnet for visitors over the decades. The garden's history, the state garden show in 1985, and the expansion of the plant world under glass showcase a long-term developed event and excursion destination with a strong authority in the region. Augsburg Marketing supports the urban experience world with a focus on target audience engagement and city experience.
