Varend Corso Westland
19 Jun 2026 - 21 Jun 2026
Procession
On Friday 19, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June 2026, Varend Corso will once again sail through the waters of Westland and surrounding areas. With the theme ‘A Grand Adventure’, this edition promises to be a colourful and festive parade on water.
Flowers, plants and vegetables in the spotlight
The boats are decorated with products from the Westland region, such as orchids, chrysanthemums and peppers. Thanks to the creativity of professional arrangers, each boat becomes a floating work of art. After a year of preparation, the organisation is aiming for an extra enchanting edition.
A unique waterfront event
Hundreds of thousands of visitors gather along the route every year. Varend Corso is a popular family outing and is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The full route and sailing schedule can be found on the Varend Corso website.
To the Corso? Of course on the bike
This year the Varend Corso Westland will be in The Hague for the first time. Every effort has been made to ensure that the route over the water runs smoothly. However, it is difficult to estimate whether it also runs as smoothly on the road. Road works are underway in many places in The Hague. Therefore, if you want to see the parade in The Hague for the first time, we recommend that you come by bike or by public transport. Then the chance that you will be faced with unexpected surprises is the smallest.
