On October 24, if the weather is clear, you can look at the stars in the dark

The 22nd edition of Nacht van de Nacht will take place on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Lights will be turned off throughout the country during this event. In Den Helder, weather permitting, you can admire the night sky through telescopes.

Lights out, stars on

During the Night of the Night, everything revolves around darkness. Less artificial light means better views of stars, the moon, and perhaps even the Milky Way. Several telescopes will be set up, and guides will provide explanations.

Awareness and wonder

This national event raises awareness about light pollution. It also demonstrates how beautiful the night can be.

More information will follow

The exact location and registration process will be announced in early October. Save the date!
