What to do?
During the free ‘Uitfestival’, you can get to know the extensive cultural offer from all over the city in a surprising way. Drop in at a theatre house in your street, join a workshop or be surprised by previews of the upcoming season. Find out which performances you don't want to miss or where you can make your own music, dance or other art in your spare time!
Four festival components
The four different festival sections will take place in all districts of the city from Scheveningen to Leidschenveen, Mariahoeve to Loosduinen. In the city centre, the freshly renovated Spuiplein with its beating festival heart will be inaugurated. Be it music, dance, theatre, literature, comedy, film or festivals. Scattered all over the city, venues and theatres put their programme for the coming year in the spotlight for you!
