Light Route (Lichtjesroute)

18/9/2011 - 9/10/2011

The Light Route is an Eindhoven tradition that goes back to 1945. After the liberation in 1945 Eindhoven citizens placed candles and lightbulbs, in a true Eindhoven way. To commemmorate our liberation since 1984 this tradition is repeated yearly in a modern way. Nowadays hundreds of thousands of light bulbs, LED's and other lamps are used to illuminate a 22 km route through the city. Several dozens of volunteers are involved to entertain over 200.000 people who cycle, drive or walk this route of light. Every year new ornaments are added to the route and the beauty of light amazes every visitor over and over again. Let yourself be surprised and 'do' the route!

Other celebrations to remember Liberation Day take place on September 18th.
