Amsterdam Light Festival

Clockwise: "Dearest friend..." by Darya von Berner; "Paths Crossing" by Ralf Westerhof; "Run Beyond" by Angelo Bonello; "Today I love you" by Massimo Uberti & Marco Pollice.

The Amsterdam Light Festival is a festival of light, art and water. From November 28 2015 to January 17 2016, Amsterdam will be transformed into a true city of lights with the help of contemporary light artists. 

The festival offers talented light artists a platform to present their latest work. One of the artists is Aleksandra Stratimirovic, whose 'Northern Lights' sculpture will cross the River Amstel. 

Treat yourself to a spectacle of light. You can either enjoy this festival by boat or on foot. The boat route, Water Colors, offers a unique view of the city from the perspective of Amsterdam’s famous waterways. Whereas the walking route, Illuminade, winds its way through the culturally rich neighborhoods in the eastern part of Amsterdam. Also keep an eye out for guided tours and an extensive side-programme that will see a host of activities and events take place at museums, theatres, restaurants, shops and other locations in Amsterdam.

Lighten up! Celebrate the dark days of winter with art, light and water!
