Review of Gouda by Candlelight 2023

On December 15, 2023 it was already the 68th edition of Gouda by Candlelight.

The highlight of the day was the ceremony at the tree between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The public lighting is off and the historic town hall, houses and shops around the market square are illuminated by thousands of Gouda candles.

Would you like to watch the ceremony again? Watch the TV West registration here.

In addition, there was also a lot of fun to experience at the other 23 locations from 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Gouwestad TV has made a nice impression of this (including bringing in the tree on December 8).

De Boom is aan!
