The Lichtjesroute (Route of Lights; Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɪx(t)jəsˌrutə]) is a festival held every autumn in Eindhoven in the southern Netherlands. It starts with a parade on 18 September celebrating the liberation of Eindhoven during World War II on that date in 1944. The Lichtjesroute is celebrated not only to commemorate the liberation but also to create an illusion of fairytales in light.
