Lights reflecting in the Hofvijver at night.

From 4 December to 15 January, two special light installations can be admired at the Hofvijver.

Unique light art on the Hofvijver

These artworks: Fish are Jumping & Firefly Flied, bring extra atmosphere and light to the heart of the city during the dark winter months. The objects, featuring luminous flying fish and fireflies, reflect beautifully in the water and create an enchanting backdrop for passers-by and visitors. Both during the day and in the evening, the light installations attract attention and invite people to pause for a moment and enjoy the view. This temporary light art gives the Hofvijver a unique winter look that makes The Hague even more beautiful.

The artworks Fish are Jumping and Firefly Field were designed by the Dutch design studio Studio Toer.
