Walfisk in Sneek
From November 27 to 29, Sneek will be under the sign of Walfisk, a light and art festival around the relationship between Friesland and whaling. The highlight is the meters-long luminous whale Cetus by the German collective Loomaland that swims through the canal near the Bothniakade.
- Thursday 27 November t/m Saturday 29 November
For three days, from November 27 to 29, Sneek's city center will transform into the setting of Walfisk. The eye-catcher is the spectacular light installation Cetus, a meters-long techno-whale by the German artists' collective Loomaland, which appears swimming through the canal near the Bothniakade. In addition, several media artworks by Frisian and international creators are on display in the city.
The Fries Scheepvaart Museum joins in with an extensive fringe program. Visitors will discover the rich collection on whaling, play the whale organ or follow the whale knowledge route. For children there is even a spouting whale in the museum pond.
