This winter, Amsterdam will light up once again up during the Amsterdam Light Festival. This is the third edition of the festival,and the second that I have experienced. Last year Light Festival was one of my greatest highlights, and was a hugeselling point when deciding to move to this incredible city.

For more than fifty days, the historical center of Amsterdam will be the unique décor for this international festival. The city will be complemented by light sculptures, projections and installations by contemporary (inter)national artists. The boat route, Water Colours, will take visitors past artworks along Amsterdam’s canals and the Amstel. The walking route, Illuminade, winds through the city center. During the festival, light will play a central role in the city as museums and institutions organize light-related activities, introducing visitors to innovations in light art.

“A Bright City”, the theme for this year’s festival, challenges artists to create a tribute to life in the city. The resulting artworks present a unique take on the modern city of Amsterdam.
