Mesmerising, colourful lights dance to the rhythm of classical music: what a wonderful setting for a long summer evening at the park. The beloved Water and Light Concerts at Planten un Blomen lake take place every evening from May until the end of August. Bring a blanket, a picnic, maybe a bottle of wine — and enjoy the show. The best part? It's free!
