Lichtjesavond Delft (evening of lights)
The evening the tree on the Markt is lit, with a light market, choirs and concerts in the centre; Tuesday 8 December.
Delft has no long-running Christmas market, but a one-day market takes place on the Markt, the main square between the town hall and the Nieuwe Kerk. It is organised by the local party Onafhankelijk Delft, and the city has granted the permit for Saturday 19 December 2026. Hours and programme have not yet been published officially. Combine it with the Delft Verlicht illuminations.
Hours not officially published; in 2025 it ran during the day (10:00–17:00 per secondary sources).
