Zuiderzeelicht https://www.visitenkhuizen.nl/details/nl/zuiderzeelicht-2023--18eb59c7-821d-451f-8ea2-7912adc2b12f

Come and marvel at the Zuiderzee Museum from December 16, 2023 through January 7, 2024, during the fifth edition of Zuiderzeelicht: the Water Foal of Volendam. Stroll through the atmospherically lit streets of the Outdoor Museum in the evening and let yourself be carried away by the gripping story of a wayward girl who would change Volendam forever. Presenter Kees Tol takes you back in time, way before fishing, costumes and music. Through light, image and sound, the legend about Volendam’s water colt comes to life bit by bit. Come and marvel in the dark!
