Colorful lights, artistic design, story-telling, fire. Each light art project at Glow Eindhoven offers a unique display of creativity and imagination. From recycled bottles illuminated with color to powerful fiery whirlwinds, this annual festival of light in art and architecture utilizes cityscapes and parks in a 3km- to 4km-long route through the city of Eindhoven (Netherlands). Some light projects play games, some invoke thoughtful contemplation. Most are expressly beautiful.
