Which Liberation Day festival are you going to?
Sunday 5 May 2024 is Liberation Day in the Netherlands. On this holiday, we consciously reflect on the value of our freedom. So this should be celebrated grandly every year! What better way to celebrate your freedom than partying at a Liberation Day festival? We have selected the 5 best Liberation Day festivals for you, which are also close to our EuroParcs holiday parks.
Dance4Liberation in Zwolle
Dance4Liberation is a cool Liberation Day festival celebrated at the Wijthmenerplas in Zwolle. With around 35,000 visitors, 3 areas and over 40 acts, this is quite an outdoor festival! Well-known names like Bizzey, Bram Krikke and D-Block & S-te-Fan are confirmed in the mainstream, techno and hardstyle line-up. The waterfront location further emphasises the feeling of space and thus freedom. About a 20-minute drive away is our holiday park EuroParcs De IJssel Eilanden. This relatively young holiday park offers luxury and comfort in a beautiful location on the Reevemeer near Kampen.
Liberation Festival Brabant in Den Bosch
For a cosy Brabant Liberation Day festival, head to Bevrijdingsfestival Brabant. This festival is held at De Pettelaarse Schans in Den Bosch, a beautiful green location by the water. This Liberation Day festival is not just about partying, but about consciously remembering our freedom. All ages are welcome, so you can dance with the whole family at Goldband. Do you live further away from this Liberation Day festival? Then combine the festival with a weekend at holiday park EuroParcs Aan de Maas. A maximum 20-minute drive will take you to this fine holiday park in Kerkdriel, which is located on the tributary of the river Maas.
The Amsterdams Verbond at the Olympic Stadium
For the real peace lovers, there is the Liberation Day festival Het Amsterdams Verbond. This festival takes place at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam and is all about celebrating love and peace together. Unfortunately, we can't reveal anything about the line-up yet, but you can expect around 25,000 partygoers here. Close to the bustling capital, we have 2 holiday parks where you can stay during this Liberation Day festival. Is a city campsite your thing? Then check out a stay at holiday park EuroParcs Het Amsterdamse Bos. For a wide range of modern chalets, holiday park EuroParcs Spaarnwoude is the place to be.
Liberation Festival Utrecht in Park Transwijk
Celebrate freedom together at the always enjoyable Liberation Festival Utrecht! Many partners, artists and the crew join forces to make it a great festival every year. A great festival for the whole family, because an afternoon full of fun activities is organised especially for the little ones. The programme is unfortunately not yet known, but the 2023 edition featured Snelle, Nielson and Meau in the line-up. From the hustle and bustle of the festival, you can easily find the peace and quiet of the forests at holiday park EuroParcs De Utrechtse Heuvelrug. In just 20 minutes you can be back at the park in Maarn.
Liberation Festival Gelderland in Wageningen
Compared to the aforementioned Liberation Day festivals, Liberation Festival Gelderland is surely the biggest of them all. With 14 stages spread throughout Wageningen, the whole city is one big festival site on Liberation Day! But of course, without commemoration of oppression, there is no celebration of freedom. The special thing about this event is that World War II is reflected in everything in Wageningen. From the local museums to residents' stories. If you live in Wageningen and its surroundings, you know that you visit this Liberation Day festival annually with your family. Is this not the case? Then book an overnight stay at holiday park EuroParcs De Wije Werelt or holiday park EuroParcs De Zanding. Both parks are just under half an hour's drive from Wageningen.
