Once a year, in November, the lovely city of Eindhoven in the Netherlands explodes with light!

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Light Festival GLOW invites around 50 artists to create light installations, sculptures, projections and performances all over the city.

Basically, the whole town centre goes crazy with light!!

Here is the walking map from 2015:

Some of the light art is projected onto city buildings…

GLOW surprises the visitor with a new perspective on the city, and it can be visited free of charge.

Over 650,000 people visited GLOW last year!

In fact, many of Eindhoven’s sponsors are high-tech companies, often in partnership with Eindhoven’s tech and education hub.
