Events in Haarlem
For young and old, musically and culinary, something for everyone.
Haarlem is alive and kicking
There are festivals and events for young and old. In addition to the activities in museums and stages, there are many annual events such as the Flowerparade, Bevrijdingspop, Haarlem Culinair and Haarlem Jazz & More. The kick-off of the cultural season takes place in the second weekend of September, and in December the Anton Pieckparade and the atmospheric Christmas market traditionally take place. See what else is on the agenda and enjoy it.
