Amsterdam Light Festival: 30 November 2023 – 21 January 2024

In 2023, the Amsterdam Light Festival will kick off for the 12th time! From 30 November 2023 until 21 January 2024, there will again be numerous beautiful works of art to admire, characterised by the use of different light effects. The theme of 2023 is Technology & AI. The creators of all artworks want to make you question what you are really seeing! Am I really seeing this or is this an optical illusion? Does what I see now speak to my imagination or can it really be true?

Cruise past 20 works of art

From hundreds of entries, the jury has chosen several works of art. The 20 chosen artworks may finally be exhibited to the general public in December after months of preparations. The artworks can be seen via a walking route but naturally shine brightest when approached from the water. The water will add some extra sparkle to the artworks with Amsterdam’s canals as background. The lights of all artworks will be on from 17.00 to 23.00 and open for visitors. The Amsterdam Light Festival is a widely supported festival open to all!

Rent a boat for the Amsterdam Light Festival

At Eco Boats Amsterdam, we can’t get enough of this festival. Clients as well as ourselves return from this festival every year in amazement. From our 8- or 12-seater boat, this festival is a true pleasure to watch. You go silently past all the beautiful light effects, which are often combined with the architecture of Amsterdam’s canals. The festival also gives the opportunity to purchase a digital route map via their website for only 7.50 euros. Here you can see all the artworks including background information and various boating routes.

Rent a boat with Eco Boats Amsterdam and experience a magical evening on the water! The light route is highly recommended!
