During the Pentecost weekend, from 22 to 25 May 2026, you can once again immerse yourself in a wood full of music at Oranjewoud Festival. Familiar or surprising — in the magnificent park landscape, you can experience it all!
Pure enjoyment of music in nature, performed by a host of international artists, accompanied by birds merrily chirping in an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Scattered throughout the park landscape, you will find all kinds of extraordinary performances and installations that stimulate and surprise.
Main programme
Join in at the FamilyZone, a children’s festival packed with workshops and performances for everyone from zero to one hundred years old.
At the festival hub, De Proeftuin, you can enjoy everything from singer-songwriters to world music and international top artists from the main programme. You can also picnic on the grass, meet friends, eat and drink, play leapfrog beneath the trees, laugh, and unwind.
Site-specific music is the musical counterpart of site-specific theatre and landscape art. Discover a new world in which the location itself becomes part of the musical work. In 2026, Oranjewoud Festival presents its first international site-specific music festival and symposium, with guest curators Strijbos & Van Rijswijk.
