Less light and shortened course: this is how Wintergloed feels the energy crisis

There are again Christmas markets on the Markt and on Simon Stevinplein. And also an artificial ice rink in the Minnewaterpark.

Due to the high energy prices, the Christmas lights are only on from half past three in the afternoon instead of all day. And the light experience walk is also a bit shorter than usual.

“Mental warmth is equally important”

“In any case, we already have one and a half kilometers less light trail,” says alderman Franky Demon. “We have come from 14 installations to eight installations. Also more concentrated. We will illuminate less along the course, because the course is more compact. But for us, the mental, that heat, is just as important. And of course that requires some energy. , but it will be less.”
