Light Art

Light artworks make Knokke-Heist even more attractive during the end-of-year period

From 5 December to 3 January, Knokke-Heist will light up for the third year in a row during the Light ART light art festival. Various light artists were inspired by the great masters of art, such as Keith Haring and Van Gogh. The result is a route through the shopping triangle, where you can combine light art and end-of-year shopping. You can start at any point on the course, so that there is always a safe flow of visitors.
Masters of the art
This year the light art festival will be renamed “Light ART”. Knokke-Heist has always exerted a special attraction for artists, architects, sculptors and painters. You will find art in the most unexpected locations. Moreover, you can find more than 85 galleries in a radius of 1 km². Light ART fits in seamlessly with this and provides the icing on the cake with at least 8 light artworks. You notice the influence of major art movements in each work of art and soon discover the link with some world-famous artists.

Kids trail
A fun and educational trail has also been devised for the little ones. They can get to know the greatest artists of all time in a playful way. The works of art appeal to the imagination and provide extra magic during the walk.

End of year shopping
More than ever, people need a weekend away. Knokke-Heist is certainly also a must-visit during the end-of-year period. You will undoubtedly find the most original gifts, while you can enjoy me-time. Between shopping, you can get a breath of fresh air on the beach and in the evening you slide your feet under the table at the most culinary hotspots. Ideal to combine with a walk along the light artworks of Light ART.

Knokke-Heist attaches great importance to the safety and health of visitors. Of course, everything will always be organized within the possibilities that the COVID-19 measures applicable at that time allow.
