The month of December in Maastricht is truly magical. The city is beautifully illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights in trees, monuments, and even the smallest of boutiques. The city centre is the place where the whole of Maastricht comes together to celebrate winter.
SPHINX by LUMUS
From 14 December until 3 January, the Sphinxkwartier district will be illuminated by a spectacular scenographic light-art installation consisting of three cubes. The cubes generate light in three dimensions through special software, which creates the illusion that they are floating. This effect is enhanced by the clever use of the laws of nature and a sleek design and will stimulate a range of senses.
André Rieu on the Vrijthof Square 2019
For the first time, André Rieu and his Johan Strauss Orchestra will take to the stage during Magical Maastricht to perform a special Christmas concert. Tickets for this magical event, which will be held on 20, 21 and 22 December 2019 in the MECC, are now available.
