This night event at Huis Ten Bosch received first place in the International Illumination Awards Illumination Event Category Excellence Entertainment Award, chosen by night view appraisers for its top-notch, outstanding entertainment value.

Take in the splendor of 13 million lights in display at one of the world's largest illumination shows, available year-round.

The European-style streets, along with attractions like the Ferris wheel and three-story merry-go-round, gardens, and fountains, are all enveloped in illumination after sunset. The dazzling sight of the sprawling park all alight is one to take your breath away. Step inside the grounds to find buildings illuminated with 3D projection mapping and synchronized music spots, giving the thrills of sight and sound in a show you’ll never forget.

The seasonal illuminations in spring, early summer, summer, autumn, Christmas, and winter are a must-see. Attractions like the "Umbrella Street" with about 700 umbrellas spread overhead and the "Aurora Garden of Light" with its waterfall-like illumination change in look and feel based on the season.
