Vierdaagsefeesten

What does the Vier­daagse­feesten look like?

At the largest, freely acces­si­ble event in the Nether­lands, Nijmegen will show us what she’s got: choose from over a 1000 dif­fer­ent per­for­mances divid­ed over 40 dif­fer­ent stages. Whether you are into pop, clas­sic, rock, tech­no or jazz, we cater to every taste.

What is a par­ty with­out cel­e­brat­ing it with oth­ers? At the Vier­daagse­feesten we have got you cov­ered: par­ty togeth­er with one and a half mil­lion oth­er vis­i­tors who can be found in Nijmegen these sev­en days. Want to escape the busy buzz of the inner city for a while? Take a break in one of our parks, enjoy our beach or vis­it an expo­si­tion. You could also decide to enjoy a the­ater per­for­mance, gain some skills at a work­shop or even attend a lec­ture!

Stevenskerk­Live. Dur­ing the Vier­daagse­feesten, the Stevenskerk — which is locat­ed in the city cen­ter — will be home to some won­der­ful per­for­mances by renowned artists. You do, how­ev­er, need a tick­et for these shows. 

Clas­sic goes Under­ground. The low­est floor of park­ing garage Kelfken­bos will be trans­formed into a unique loca­tion for clas­si­cal music. From Sat­ur­day through Mon­day night between 20.00−21.00, you can enjoy one of a kind clas­si­cal music con­certs here. Even though entrance is free, mak­ing a reser­va­tion ahead of time is required. 

Cel­e­brate the night. For those want­i­ng to par­ty until the sun comes up, it is impor­tant to know that many clubs and bars in Nijmegen do charge some sort of entrance fee. These fees will dif­fer per loca­tion. You may some­times even need a tick­et to be able to attend cer­tain par­ties, as is the case in for instance Doorn­roos­je or the Lin­den­berg. In oth­er clubs and bars, you often get charged an entrance fee at the door.

Coin­cid­ing with the Vier­daagse­feesten, from Tues­day to Fri­day, Nijmegen also wel­comes the Inter­na­tion­al Four Day March­es. Dur­ing these days walk­ers can opt to walk 30, 40 or 50 km a day. Along the walk­ing routes that criss-cross the city cen­tre, the fes­tiv­i­ties pro­ceed in full swing. In fact, the fes­ti­val vis­i­tors enjoy cheer­ing the walk­ers on!
