Landal Christmas Parade

During Christmas Town Valkenburg, a magical parade (Landal Christmas Parade) regularly winds its way through the old streets of the town. The historic city centre forms a fantastic backdrop against the illuminated procession of abundantly decorated floats and groups of dancers in glamorous costumes.

On Saturday, November 15th, the first Landal Christmas Parade of this year will take place. Up to and including December 5th, Saint Nicholas’ Eve, the parade will pass through the streets of Valkenburg every Saturday. From December 6th onwards, the dancers and floats can be admired every week on both Wednesdays and Saturdays, except on Wednesday, December 24th, Christmas Eve. The final parade will take place on Saturday, December 27th.

It is almost impossible to stand still, watching the parade pass by, accompanied by a specially composed Christmas soundtrack. The lights, dancers, floats and catchy music make the Landal Christmas Parade one of Christmas Town Valkenburg’s main attractions every year.
