Enjoy the Amsterdam Light Festival from the canals

Amsterdam Light Festival Cruise

The Amsterdam Light Festival will take place from November 28, 2024 through January 19, 2025 and we are official partner of the festival.

We would like to take you along the beautiful light artworks  with the theme ‘RITUALS’.

You always rent a boat for your own party and our skipper will show you the best of Amsterdam (the route is in the city center this year) and the Amsterdam Light Festival and will be pleased to tell you all about it.

Edition 13:

Amsterdam Light Festival has been a yearly tradition for the last 12 years, lighting the city in the darkest months of the year. The coming edition is special, as it coincides with Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary. For a whole year, all over town, residents, districts and institutions commemorate and celebrate the unique spirit of Amsterdam. What custom is more appropriate to mark this special milestone than a ritual?

RITUALS

Rituals have traditionally helped us through all kinds of transformations; from past to future, from winter to summer, from youth to adulthood. Light plays a vital role in many rituals, as a vibrant symbol of joy, energy and life. We use fireworks to usher in the new year, candles to commemorate the arrival of a saviour, and midsummer fires to welcome the solstice. Light adds something mystical and sacred to a ritual like no other element can. And rituals unify. Rituals bring people together.

That’s why we celebrate Amsterdam750 with light. With art. With each other. With Edition 13: Rituals. On this page you can find more information about the activities we organize in the context of the anniversary year.

The lights are on daily between 5.00 to 10.00/11.00 PM depending on the day (on New Year’s Eve the Light Festival is closed).

We have two suggestions for you but feel free to inform you about your wishes.
