It’s a month to recharge by living it to the fullest, and our agenda focuses on exactly that. These aren't just events to fill your calendar, they are the essential summer experiences you’ve been waiting for.

Central Park Festival

Utrecht’s Park Transwijk transforms into the ultimate open-air sanctuary this June, offering a three-day program that hits every note.

If you’re looking for a more laid-back, family-friendly vibe, then Sunday provides the perfect soundtrack for a wind-down, featuring names such as Bankzitters and Luna. Beyond the music, Central Park is about the atmosphere. Grab a drink by the water, hit the swan boats, or catch a view from the Ferris wheel. This is the quintessential Dutch summer weekend in a nutshell.

With a top-tier curated lineup, Bella Claxton brings her signature groovy basslines, while Kendal hits the sweet spot between euphoria and nostalgia with his timeless production.
