Glow Eindhoven 2024

Eindhoven’s nights will be brightened once again by the Glow Eindhoven Festival. Visit this enchanting city and discover the event's magical atmosphere!

This year, people will come to the City of Light to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this international light art festival. Founded in 2005, Glow Eindhoven continues to bring magic to life with artworks and innovations in the public space. Visitors from across the world gather to participate in the otherworldly show and explore the many beauties of light. 

With this year's theme, 'The Stream,' Glow Festival perfectly blends art, technology, and culture. The Stream aims to represent the fundamental forces that shape our world and human existence. It's a metaphor for the constant change and the natural connection between all living things. The beauty of fluidity can be seen both in water and within every living being.

Artists will come together to create a mesmerizing experience for everyone in the city center of Eindhoven. From November 9th to 16th, you can enjoy this light art show on a 5-kilometer-long route through the city. Check the route on this link. The opening hours are from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM.

What to Expect When Attending Glow Eindhoven 2024

Events like this one offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Expect to see an illuminated Eindhoven that expresses a community spirit through the power of light.

Each visitor will get the chance to dive into the enchanting world, which will widen their horizons and give another meaning to their view of reality. Expect a large crowd to fill the streets of Eindhoven.

Children are an essential part of this art festival. Since it’s important that they develop their imagination and creativity, the festival gives them a chance for self-expression. From the atrium of Domusdela, a former Monastery, you will see the lights that shape children's self-portraits. Inside the nave of the Paterskerk, the old church, hundreds of three-dimensional flowers made by kids from Eindhoven will illuminate the surroundings. A true feast for the eyes!

Dress in warm clothes, because the weather will be typical autumn weather with cool evenings. The temperatures will range between 14°C (57°F) and 23°C (73°F) with the possibility of rain and wind.

This festival is free for everyone!
