Amsterdam Light Festival 2023, 30 November - 21 January 2024

Amsterdam Light Festival

WHERE: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
WHEN: from 30 November 2023 to 21 January 2024

Any time of the year is a good time to visit Amsterdam. Beautiful, evocative and fascinating like few others, this city never fails to captivate the gaze of visitors.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter and… again spring. Always wonderful. If you are looking for a reason to visit it in winter, don’t be afraid. For two months, from December to January, the city will be able to reward tourists with its wonderful Amsterdam Light Festival. It is one of the most interesting events on the European scene, at least from a scenographic point of view.

Before being exhibited, the works must be approved by a selected jury year. Talented artists, architects and designers present their cutting-edge ideas which will then be exhibited during the two months of the event.
