GLOW Festival lights up Eindhoven and the surrounding region from Saturday 7 to Saturday 14 November 2026. The 2026 edition carries the theme CONNECT.

In Eindhoven, a walking route of roughly 5 km through the city centre links around 30 light artworks made by international and local artists, emerging talent, children and residents. You can join the route at any point. The festival also runs in Helmond, Oirschot, Best, Veldhoven and Lieshout.

GLOW is free and needs no ticket. The one exception is the drone show The Breathing Collective at the Philips Stadion, which costs €2 per person and must be booked in advance.

Travel tip from the organisers: come by train or bike. Several city-centre roads close to traffic every evening between 18:00 and midnight, and some central car parks cannot be entered during festival hours. A printed route map costs €2 at the information points. Visitors who are sensitive to epilepsy are advised not to attend because of flashing lights.
