Turn on the lights in the harbour
From 14 December, the Second Harbour will be transformed into a beautiful sea of lights. Over 60 boats will transform the marina into an atmospheric backdrop until 31 January. Enjoy an evening out at the marina with the most romantic view. Or visit the Christmas Village Scheveningen in the Tweede Haven for a real Christmas shopping experience!
What to expect.
There will be free oliebollen for children at Oma Toos (gone = gone). Naturally, hot chocolate and gluhwein will also be available, and from 17:30 the harbour will get even more atmosphere with fine music.
- Official Lighting Ceremony: At 18:00, Alderman Saskia Bruines will light the enchanting harbour lights, marking the start of an atmospheric winter season.
- Spectacular Water Act: Immediately after the lighting ceremony, an enchanting show on the water will follow. Be amazed by this unique act that wraps the dark winter evening in fairy lights.
- Illuminated Sailboats: Until January, you can enjoy the beautifully lit sailboats in the harbour. These beautiful boats give the port a magical winter feel that you won't soon forget.
Come to the harbour on 14 December and experience the magic of Scheveningen in all its glory. Whether you come with friends, family or alone, this will be an evening full of light and enchantment!
Combine with a nice walk
Throughout Scheveningen, you will find numerous light objects that beautifully spotlight the seaside resort. So a visit to the port can be nicely combined with a walk along this luminous splendour.
