Amsterdam Light Festival 2024 – 2025
Every winter, as the days grow shorter and the nights become longer, Amsterdam captivates visitors by transforming into a stunning open-air light exhibition known as the Amsterdam Light Festival. This annual event showcases the creativity of contemporary artists from across the globe, who craft mesmerizing light installations that illuminate the heart of Amsterdam. This year, the festival proudly presents its 13th edition, focusing on the thought-provoking theme of Rituals.
Light symbolizes various significant rituals in cultures worldwide, manifesting in forms such as fireworks, bonfires, sky lanterns, and even the flickering candles on a birthday cake. In tandem with Amsterdam’s momentous 750-year anniversary celebrations, the festival invites artists to delve into the rituals that hold special meaning for the city’s diverse inhabitants. Take a scenic LOVERS canal cruise to experience these ethereal light artworks up close, peer through the glowing windows, and partake in a celebration filled with luminous artistry.
