Light art, without festival
De aangescherpte coronamaatregelen zijn van impact op het festival. Het festival vindt helaas niet plaats zoals we gehoopt hadden.
The new measures set by the Dutch government on 18 December 2021 have a big impact on Amsterdam Light Festival. Organised (group) activities are not allowed until 14 January 2022. Unfortunately, we cannot celebrate our anniversary edition together, in the way that we had hoped.
In consultation with the City of Amsterdam the light artworks will remain switched on to illuminate residents and passersby. There is no festival, but there is light art. We expect everyone to adhere to the current Covid-19 measures. If the crowds become too large or if people do not keep the measures in mind, the City of Amsterdam will request us to switch the light artworks off.
In short:
- As festival organization we are not allowed to organize acitivites or operations under the current Covid-19 measures.
- The light artworks are on from 5.00 - 10.00 p.m.
- Festival information points are closed.
- If crowds become too large or if people do not adhere to the measures, the City of Amsterdam will request to switch the light artworks off.
What is allowed:
- Walking and recreational boating in the public space.
- The maximum group size outside is 2 people, both for walking and recreational boating (unless one household).
- Only on 24, 25, 26 & 31 December the maximum group size outside is 4 people (unless one household).
- The 1,5 meter distance rule is in effect for walking as well as recreational boating (unless one household).
- Using the festival Route Map is allowed.
- Using the festival Audio Guide is allowed.
What is not allowed:
- No commercial boating (canal cruise/open boat/historic boat/boat rental) until 14 January 2022.
- No organized guided tours until 14 January 2022.
We need your help:
As a cultural foundation we suffer tremendously from the lockdown. Especially since we are not eligible for government support. Help us get through this difficult situation, so we illuminate residents and visitors of Amsterdam next year again. Donate now!
