Light Festival Herengracht

26 November 2026 until 17 January 2027

This winter, Amsterdam Light Festival celebrates its 15th edition, once again transforming the city’s iconic canals into an open-air gallery of contemporary light art. From 26 November 2026 until 17 January 2027, visitors can discover a brand-new route featuring captivating installations by Dutch and international artists, all set against the enchanting backdrop of Amsterdam’s historic canal district.

Whether experienced on foot or from the water, the festival offers a magical way to explore the city after dark. For the ultimate experience, we recommend an evening canal cruise, where many of the artworks can be admired from their intended perspective while Amsterdam’s illuminated canals create an unforgettable winter atmosphere.
