Amsterdam Light Festival 2024 - 2025

In the dark winter months of December 2024 and January 2025, Amsterdam will be transformed into a beautiful open-air light art museum for the 13th edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival. For this edition, the festival has chosen the theme Rituals. the festival explores the many ways light is a part of our rituals for celebrating as the city celebrates its 750 years anniversary.

Light plays a crucial role in many rituals, usually representing life, joy, or energy. We usher in the new year with fireworks and light a bonfire at Easter and other holidays. This year, artists have been asked to depict rituals that are meaningful to Amsterdam's diverse community.

The best boat tour of the Amsterdam Light Festival

The best way to enjoy these light artworks is with an Amsterdam Light Festival canal cruise. From the Amsterdam canals, you have a first-class view of the light art while you can relax and look around. The Amsterdam Light Festival route is designed in such a way that you can see all the artworks in the canals and on the quay.

Like in previous editions, LOVERS Canal Cruises is an official partner of the Amsterdam Light Festival. With this cruise you step on board a comfortable, modern and heated LOVERS canal boat at Central Station. From here, the Light Festival tour through Amsterdam takes you through the UNESCO World Heritage canals where the art collection is on display.

Along the way, the audio guide, in English and Dutch, tells you more about the beautiful light installations you pass by. The coldest and darkest months of the year will be a lot lighter and cosier with Amsterdam Light Festival boat tickets from LOVERS Canal Cruises.
