About
New for 2026, WinterGlow replaces the former Santa's Village on the Walramplein, with Christmas chalets, a beer pavilion serving seasonal pastries, a carousel and Santa's house. Entry is free and it stays open until 9 or 10 pm, handy after a cave visit. On set evenings the Landal Christmas Parade of lit floats, dancers and music winds through the centre, including the Walramplein. It runs on Saturdays 14, 21 and 28 November and 12 and 19 December at 7.30 pm, and on Wednesdays 9, 16, 23 and 30 December at 7 pm. Arrive early on parade nights, as the town gets very busy.
