The bonfires in Scheveningen, Duindorp, and Laak, traditionally lit on New Year’s Eve, have been moved to tonight at 11 PM due to expected high winds, as determined by The Hague’s Mayor Jan van Zanen after consultations with local authorities. The decision was made following forecasts of wind force 6 or 7 on the coast during the New Year transition. Previous years saw cancellations due to safety issues and the pandemic, making tonight’s fires a return to the beloved tradition.
