The Glow light art festival is scheduled to take place in Eindhoven, Netherlands, from November 7 to November 14, 2026. Operating under the theme ‘Connect’, the event focuses on interactions between humans, technology, and the environment through free artworks, interactive projections, and a five-kilometer route through the city center.

As the festival begins, highlights include a drone show titled ‘The Breathing Collective’ at the Philips Stadion, which utilizes light, sound, and 100 drones. Other notable installations include ‘BRICK’, a LEGO-themed light show at the Eindhoven Markt, and various light works on landmarks such as the Lichttoren. The festival spans Eindhoven and surrounding areas including Helmond and Veldhoven.

Specific installations featured in the opening include ‘The Bubble Bath’ by artist Koen Steger at Lodewijk Napoleonplein, which consists of 180 illuminated spheres. Additionally, the student team IGNITE has presented ‘NOVA’, a 17-meter-long light screen designed to translate the body heat of visitors into moving light patterns to encourage social interaction. The event also extends to Oirschot, Best, and Lieshout.
