Amsterdam Light Festival 2023 -2024

In the dark winter months, Amsterdam traditionally transforms into a beautiful open-air light museum during the Amsterdam Light Festival. Modern artists from all over the world make spectacular light artworks that can be found in the city centre of Amsterdam.

The 12th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival has the theme LOADING…Revealing Art, AI and Tech. Through this theme the festival asks you to consider how the growing use both influences the human experience, including how it has changed how we communicate, socialise and create. Join us on a cruise past the various light art, look through the windows and consider the different perspectives on the theme portrayed by the art.

The best boat tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival

The best way to enjoy the art of the festival is with Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise. From the water, you have a first-class view of the light art while you can relax and take it all in. The water route of the festival is designed in such a way that you can see all the artworks that are both on the canals and on the quayside.

The modern and comfortable and heated boats from LOVERS Canal Cruises are a great way to enjoy the Amsterdam Light Festival. Along the way, the audio guide (in English & Dutch) tells you more about the beautiful light installations you see along the light festival tour in Amsterdam.

Each works of art on display for this light tour through Amsterdam naturally tells its own story, however, there are many common themes and stories to discover. The coldest and darkest months of the year will be a lot brighter and cosier with Amsterdam Light Festival boat tickets.
