Amsterdam Aglow
Amsterdam Light Festival (1 December 2022 until 22 January 2023) is picturing the future with 20 unique artworks from an array of homegrown and international artists, following the theme of Imagine Beyond. Their visionary installations will illuminate the city, and visitors can see the winter show on foot or with a night-time canal cruise.
