The Christmas Garden Concept

Christmas Garden is a complex audiovisual open-air production that takes place between mid-November and early January in venues that are predominantly listed buildings, some of which are UNESCO cultural heritage sites. Impressive architecture, the peacefulnes of nature and technically sophisticated light art are combined with specially composed music and acoustic worlds. An approximately two-kilometre-long circular path leads visitors through a world of inspiration with numerous installations created by outstanding artists.

Christmas Garden celebrated its premiere in Berlin in 2016 and was a surprise success. In the past 2021 season, the event format was presented at eighteen locations in four countries, despite all the difficulties that the pandemic brings for organisers. In addition to the ten events in Germany such as Berlin, Cologne or Stuttgart, these included, for example, the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau in Barcelona, the Jardín Botánico – Histórico La Concepción in Málaga, the Jardins de Vivers in València, the Parc de Saint-Cloud in Paris, Windsor Great Park near London, Kenwood House in London or also the Trentham Estate near Newcastle. Around 1.9 million people visited the Christmassy illuminated and most beautiful parks and gardens in Germany, France, Great Britain and Spain.

Christmas Garden Deutschland GmbH

The Christmas Gardens of all German and foreign locations are in-house productions of Christmas Garden Deutschland GmbH (CGD). This company was founded in 2018 and belongs to the DEAG-Group, the Deutschen Entertainment AG.
In order to transform the impressive parks, zoos and gardens into sparkling winter landscapes during the winter months, the Christmas Garden team works throughout the year to design convincing and new creative concepts and to realise them together with all partners.

DEAG officially opened its brand new, state-of-the-art office for the team, creatives and artists as well as for friends and business partners on 11 May 2022. The success and recent growth of the event format has led to an ever-increasing need for space. The space in the DEAG headquarters at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz became scarce, so we are delighted to have found a bright and spacious location for the young company founded in 2018. Directly at Greisdreieck Park, right on the border of Schöneberg and Kreuzberg, an open and modern place for creativity and flexible teamwork has been created.
