Edition 13 will take place from November 28, 2024 to January 19, 2025, and the lights will be on every night from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. max. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings until 10 p.m.
The theme of the thirteenth edition of Amsterdam Light Festival is Rituals. Rituals and light have been connected for centuries. Rituals have traditionally helped us through all kinds of transformations; from past to future, from winter to summer, from youth to adulthood. Rituals connect us to our community, our gods or our ancestors. They evolve over time but remain largely the same, giving us a sense of security and stability in a chaotic world.

Light plays a crucial role in many forms of rituals, as a vibrant symbol of joy, energy and life. As a strong foundation that stands the test of time, rituals offer a sense of continuity and connection to our past, present and future selves. This edition's artists were asked to respresent rituals that are meaningful to Amsterdam's diverse community.
