Festivals and Events Calendar 2025

Medieval and fantasy festivals are becoming increasingly popular and the number of festivals and events is growing, both in the Netherlands and in other countries. A festival in your own country is of course always convenient. You can travel there easily and if you want to stay for multiple days and the festival is a bit further away, accommodation is quickly arranged.

Festivals abroad might be a bit more challenging to attend, but you can definitely combine them with a vacation in that country to make the most of your trip. Depending on the location, you could take a road trip or even a city trip if there's a large city near the festival.
