. in its 6th year, there are more than 40 works of art that light up along the canals. canal boats typically have narration in english telling cruisers about the meaning of the pieces and the artists that created them. artists are from all over the world. some pieces are more elaborate than others, but the overall wow power is worth staying up late for. and it's a good way to stay up late and fight jetlag. the festival runs the entire month of december, and into a good chunk of january.
