Lightboat Parade

The parade is not just a floating procession; it is a celebration for the entire city. Along the quays and on the bridges, thousands of spectators gather from 8:00 PM onwards to enjoy the colourful parade, the festive music, and the unique atmosphere that the evening brings.

Families, groups of friends, and visitors from all around come together to experience this special event, an experience you won't forget easily. The event is free to attend and suitable for all ages. The starting point is the Marksingel near café Markhoek, and the procession ends in the Harbour.
