Festival Explore the North is back

From Friday 14 to Sunday 16 October you can once again be wandering through Leeuwarden city centre during our Festival Weekend, enjoying an exciting programme packed with music, literature, science, theatre and stories on undiscovered sites. A month earlier than you’re used to, yet as always with a stimulating and remarkable programme. And that obviously also includes our De Stadskas – our stunning City Greenhouse, in which we together with our partners have created a free and divers programme for you. The glasshouse is located from 1 to 16 October right in our city centre, at the Hofplein. Listed below is our festival programme, both during the Festival Weekend as well as in De Stadskas.

Festival

Our Explore the North Festival is divided into two sections: the Festival Weekend part spread all over Leeuwarden city centre and De Stadskas (City Greenhouse) part at the Hofplein. There are also some additional festival events apart from the weekend and De Stadskas. So there’ll be a lot to enjoy in October! Have you already ordered your tickets?
