From 3 to 28 June 2026, the 79th edition of the Holland Festival – the Netherlands’ leading international performing arts festival – took place. At the festival you see performances you would not otherwise encounter in the Netherlands. For an entire month, you can enjoy international artists who push the boundaries of dance, music and theatre.

about the holland festival
The Holland Festival, the largest international performing arts festival in the Netherlands, will celebrate its 79th edition in 2026. Each year in June, the festival takes place in and around Amsterdam at various locations, indoors and outdoors, on a large and intimate scale, both online and offline.
The performing arts are presented in their full breadth: music, music theatre, theatre, dance, multidisciplinary forms, visual arts and film. The Holland Festival is artist-driven: it places artists centre stage, allowing them complete freedom to showcase art in all its facets – innovative, pioneering and artistically challenging.
