Harbor filled with yachts, illuminated with festive lights

60 illuminated sailing boats in the Second Harbour

Starting Saturday, December 12th, the Second Harbor will be transformed into a beautiful sea of ​​lights. More than 60 boats will transform the marina into an atmospheric backdrop until the end of January. Enjoy an evening out at the harbor with the most romantic view.

The atmospheric harbour of Scheveningen

As evening falls, Scheveningen Harbour comes alive with lights, music and a spectacular performance on the water.

On Saturday 12 December, the Harbour Lights will be officially switched on with Waterlied, an enchanting performance by Belgian artists. Three beautifully illuminated flowers glide gracefully across the water, each carrying a performer. Through music, light and delicate choreography, a poetic story unfolds in which water and imagination come together.

A magical experience for all ages, right in the heart of Scheveningen's atmospheric harbour.

Make an afternoon and evening of it by the sea

Combine your visit with Korsemus in de Straet in Keizerstraat. Then stroll towards the harbour and soak up the festive atmosphere at Christmas Village, treat yourself to a freshly made oliebol (traditional Dutch doughnut) at Oma Toos or an ice cream at Opa Pino, and find a lovely spot along the quayside to watch the performance.

A wonderful opportunity to discover Scheveningen in winter!
