What is Castlefest and when is it?

Castlefest is a beautiful medieval and fantasy festival held twice a year. In August, the largest version of the festival takes place, and in December a smaller Winter Castlefest. The festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. The beauty of Castlefest is that it coincides with the Celtic harvest festival Lughnasadh. A highlight of the festival is the traditional burning of the wicker man. You can also attend various workshops on Celtic culture, spirituality, and other interesting topics.

Where is Castlefest?

Castlefest is held annually in the beautiful gardens of Keukenhof Castle in Lisse. Due to the beautiful backdrop, the festival is popular with cosplayers and LARPers who want to photograph their outfits. The grounds are also beautifully set up as a medieval town with markets and stages where the best folk bands perform. There is also a campsite at Castlefest, so you can stay close to the festival grounds for the entire duration of the festival.
