The lights are on! Admire the 27 light artworks by foot, bike, or cruise and discover everything about the theme Rituals.
THE LIGHTS ARE ON
Tonight at 5.00 p.m. the lights of the 27 artworks of Edition 13 will go on. Together they tell the story of Rituals in the year that Amsterdam will celebrate her 750th anniversary. It's hard to imagine a more fitting theme!
After 12 years, our festival has become a ritual in itself; every year, visitors and residents of Amsterdam come together with their family and friends to admire the light artworks on the canals. In the anniversary year of the city, Amsterdam Light Festival will revolve around the theme Rituals. Rituals have been part of our existence since the beginning of humanity. They help us in our transformations from youth to adulthood, from winter to summer and from past to future. Rituals can be big and shared, or small and personal. The 27 light artworks of Edition 13 will shine their light on all sorts of rituals.
LAND AND WATER
The route can be experienced from water or from land. Go for a walk and let the festival app guide you past all of the artworks, while you read about how the artworks are made, or listen ot the audio guide. Or go Dutch and hop on a bike! If you prefer to view the works from the iconic canals, we offer all sorts of boat experiences that ensure a comfortable cruise.
