Amsterdam Light Festival #11

AMSTERDAM LIGHT FESTIVAL IN BRIEF

The 11th edition of Amsterdam Light Festival will take place from Thursday, December 1, 2022 to Sunday, January 22, 2023. This year's theme is 'Imagine Beyond' where we challenge visitors to use their imagination and look beyond what they see.

During the dark winter months, Amsterdam Light Festival transforms the city into a canvas for light art. For the eleventh time in a row, we enlighten residents and visitors of Amsterdam with a route consisting of twenty works of art of (inter)national origin.

At the moment the preparations for the festival are in full swing and we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our team for our information point. Volunteers are indispensable for the festival and the calling card to the public. Will you join our team and help make our capital shine again?
