Forever Happy Comes to an End

What a festival! For a month, we celebrated, discussed, marveled, and asked ourselves: What is happiness? After 21 exhibitions, countless conversations, and unforgettable encounters, we can say: Happiness was found in community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us: to our audience, to the artists, to our volunteers, and of course to our generous partners and sponsors, without whom this festival would not be possible.

21 exhibitions, one shared question: what does happiness mean today? International photographers take us on a visual journey through joy, longing and the small moments of life. Discover now the exhibitions of the upcoming festival edition.

Discover the winning entries from the open call for the single-image category. The photographs will be on display in the shop windows of Lenzburg’s old town from 9 May to 6 June 2026.

The official catalogue of the 7th Fotofestival Lenzburg brings together 21 exhibitions featuring renowned international artists and a searching look at happiness in a world full of promises.

We are delighted to announce the theme of the upcoming edition of Fotofestival Lenzburg 2026! It is a theme that we encounter every day – in small moments and big decisions, sometimes even unexpectedly. A theme that connects us, drives us, and sometimes challenges us.

The digital exhibition guides you through Lenzburg’s past – 28 red dots in the town mark places full of history and change. Discover buildings that have disappeared, streets that have been moved and the heritage that remains. Experience the exhibition on site or on a smaller scale in the Burghalde Museum.
