We are back to celebrate the largest event of the Netherlands with you: 12-18 July 2025, Vierdaagsefeesten in Nijmegen!
Aftermovie Vierdaagsefeesten 2025
What do the Vierdaagsefeesten look like?
At the largest freely accessible event in the Netherlands, the whole of Nijmegen will show what it has to offer: choose from more than 1,000 performances spread over no fewer than 40 different stages. There is something for everyone, whether you like pop, classical, rock, techno or jazz.
You celebrate a big party with others. And you can bet that this will work out well during the Vierdaagsefeesten: party together with more than one million other visitors who can be found in Nijmegen for seven days. Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city center? Relax in the park or on the beach, or visit an exhibition, theater performance, workshop or lecture.

What, when, where?
After the opening of the Vierdaagsefeesten on Saturday, a big fireworks display will take place on the Waalkade on Sunday. On Wednesday, all of tolerant Nijmegen will turn pink, to emphasise our commitment to acceptance and diversity. On Friday there will be a closing ceremony together with the walkers of the Nijmegen International Four Day Marches. And, of course, lots more!
If you want to see it all, remember that a tour of all the podiums is approximately 7 km long. Good thing you’ve got seven days to do it.
Free entrance? Get a drink at the bar!
We take it for granted: every year we get to party and enjoy live shows at various locations during the Vierdaagsefeesten. The event, however, is expensive to organize. Obviously, the largest freely accessible event in the Netherlands does cost money. We earn a part of this money through the drinks that you buy at the bar! This income is used to pay artists, acts, equipment and décor, among other things. So if you make sure to buy a drink or two at the bar, we will take care of everything else. Deal?
Disclaimer: some parts of the program are not freely accessible
For the large majority of shows, you don’t have to make a reservation or buy a ticket. However, there is a exception:
Stevenskerk Live. 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.
The program indicates for which parts you need a ticket.
Follow Vierdaagsefeesten on Facebook & Instagram to stay up to date on recent developments and changes in the program.

Coinciding with the Vierdaagsefeesten, from Tuesday to Friday, Nijmegen also welcomes the International 4Daagse. 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!
