GLOW with kids

What are the most fun GLOW locations to visit with kids this year? Good question! And quite a tricky one because every work of light art at the festivalis suitable for kids, even if you're enjoying the view from a stroller. We highly recommend visiting these six spots, though. One artwork was even created by school children. Pretty cool, isn't it?

Space travellers

Get ready to embark on an adventure filled with smiles and laughter! The Space Travelers, as they call themselves, are going on an adventure. Together with Hugo Vrijdag, imaginative kids are taking over the vibrant city of Eindhoven. Picture a mesmerizing projection of outer space, where quirky UFOs and whimsical monsters invite you to join the fun. An incredible 3D universe of glowing, handcrafted planets is waiting just for you!

Eyes on You @De Heuvel

Calling all performers: the stage is set! Eyes on You transforms De Heuvel square into a lively theater, where you become the star of the show. Move freely, and you’ll find delightful surprises await. In the work of Philip Ross, the focus is on the playful interaction between people and technology. The lights take front-row seats, becoming an attentive audience that follows your every move. This time, it’s you who’s in the spotlight!

Spring Vibes @De Fellenoord

Eindhoven blossoms with color during GLOW! While cars usually zoom by on the bustling Fellenoord, a vibrant celebration of nature takes over, creating an oasis of calm. Spring Vibes turns the street into a blooming paradise just as winter approaches and the days grow shorter. This enchanting installation invites visitors to soak in the refreshing joy of spring's first blossoms.

Switch @Beursgebouw

At Switch, you hold the power! Step into the Beursgebouw and take charge of the light artwork by playing with an astounding 1,200 light switches. This dynamic interplay between visitors and artists creates an unforgettable experience. Where your story ends, the magic of someone else begins.

Light Parade

A highlight for the entire family: the Light Parade! A troupe of dancers appears along the GLOW route at the most unexpected moments. Keep your eyes open; you might just spot one of the dazzling costumes before anyone else!

Syntropia @Wilhelminaplein

Prepare to be captivated as Wilhelminaplein transforms into a grand open-air theater thanks to the artwork Syntropia by Cindy Lo. Eighty years ago, Eindhoven celebrated its liberation with small lights glowing in the windows. Cindy Lo beautifully weaves this story into her projections, honoring history while celebrating peace and beauty.
