Get ready to party – over 1,000 festivals are on this year’s calendar
From music to theatre and food – there are at least 1,115 festivals on the Dutch calendar this year, according to marketing bureau EM-Cultuur.
This is up almost 300 on 2018, when there were complaints in some quarters about the over-full calendar, and the noise which they often generate.
More than half the festivals are music focused, but theatre and art-based events are also on the rise, the researchers say.
June is the busiest month for festivals, when you have a choice of 145 events, followed by August (138) and May (133).
