Lights in Noordwijk

In the dark winter days the stars twinkle in Noordwijk. Visit the ambient illuminated shopping streets and special events or experience our biggest light show: the beautiful night sky full with stars. Enjoy our ‘Winter lights walk’, where you will pass beautifully decorated shops, hotels and restaurants. Take a short break from walking and be warmly welcomed by local businesses.

Discover the lights in Noordwijk!

Winter lights walk

Discover Noordwijk from its most beautiful side, as evening falls the coastal town shines in a special light. We have put together a trail for you that takes you past the most beautiful illuminated spots. Cosy and atmospheric, especially if you end the walk with a delicious dinner in one of the restaurants.

Nature's light show

If you are lucky, you can spot the northern lights in Noordwijk. At the darkest spots such as in the dunes near Langevelderslag, the northern lights show themselves in the right conditions. No luck? Then you can still watch the beautiful starry night sky here. Nature's most extraordinary light show.

Corné Ouwehand is De Nachtfotograaf (Night Photographer) of Noordwijk and its surroundings. Keep an eye on his account for updates on the northern lights.

“ Brilliant lights, flickering lamps & the impressive starry sky ”

Lichtjesavond Noordwijkerhout

Let the magic of the "Lichtjesavond" enchant you on December 20th in the heart of Noordwijkerhout. The shops and cafés will make the cosy centre even more atmospheric with their brilliant lights, lamps, sparkling LEDs and live music. The shops are open to do some final Christmas shopping.

At this time, everyone pauses to reflect on the last days of the year. During the Lichtjesavond, you will fortunately do so standing by a nice warm fire made by the local Scouts with a mulled wine, chocolate milk or a tangerine.
