“Safety comes first, thank you for your understanding.” This is how the City of Nieuwpoort announced the news. The fireworks were normally scheduled for Saturday at 7 p.m., but cannot take place due to the weather conditions.
Earlier, the emergency services also had to remove or reinforce the Christmas decorations in Nieuwpoort-Bad in some places due to the strong wind. Because this has to be done piece by piece due to safety considerations, this resulted in minor diversions.
