From 6 December 2007 through 6 January 2008 the Dam square will have a very festive atmosphere. In the middle of the Dam will be a gigantic Christmas tree, lit beautifully from sundown. The illuminated façade of the Royal Palace forms a majestic backdrop. A special light designer was brought in to ensure the Christmas tree would be the radiant centre of the city. As in previous years, the lantern polls around the Dam will be adorned with rings of light, adding that extra festive feel. - Dam
