Beautiful themed lights through the canal side walks. It’s a memorable evening. You can either walk through the streets or take a boat ride both is good. You can also get the map of different lights by it’s designer name and idea behind it

It was a relaxing ride. But the boat was crowded and we had to wait 45 mins in the Q to get inside. The other people also felt it was a small boat for too many people. We went during peak winter so we booked the heated cruise.

While visiting in mid December, we were excited to do a canal cruise to see the "light festival". We went based on some reviews. A canal cruise in the evening costs significantly more. Save the money and go during the day. The art work was worth seeing in daylight as well. The evening tour was great on the canal company we used, beautiful boat, great captain, but the displays were not as expected. We had seen videos from prior years, and this one was disappointing. Very spread out and not one was festive.
