Amsterdam Light Festival
During the dark winter months, the Amsterdam Light Festival is a recurring festival. Sailing along the Amsterdam canals you can experience the light festival together with your family, friends or team. Since 2012, Amsterdam Light Festival is an annual festival where the city is transformed into a canvas for light art. The theme of the eleventh edition is 'Imagine Beyond'. Event op het water also offers a cruise in Amsterdam. The cruise is long enough for the guide to tell you all about the rich history of the capital while you view the beautiful light sculptures.
