SOMETHING IS COOKING…
Last February, artists and makers like Philip Beesley, TUNDRA, and Iris van Herpen lit up the city of Delft. With groundbreaking installations, unexpected encounters, and a weekend full of imagination and technological discoveries. Together with over 3,500 visitors, we explored how art and innovation shape the future, and how we are part of it.
And this was only the beginning…
In February 2026, we’ll return with a new, spectacular edition of Highlight Festival. More to be revealed soon… but expect art and technology to collide once again in ways you’ve never experienced before.
Save the date: 11–14 February 2026
The future is ours. We’ll see you there?
