Jalan Jalan Festival
20 Aug 2027 - 22 Aug 2027
From 20 to 22 August, The Hague will be transformed into the setting for Jalan Jalan: a multi-day Indo-Dutch city festival centred around culture, gastronomy and socialising.
Indonesian city festival
Jalan Jalan, which means ‘walking’ or ‘strolling’ in Indonesian, invites visitors to discover the city via a route brimming with flavours, stories and experiences. The festival brings together people with roots in the Dutch East Indies and Indonesia, but is explicitly intended for anyone curious about this rich culture.
The Lange Voorhout forms the vibrant heart of the festival. Here, you can sample authentic and modern dishes from food trucks, enjoy live music and cultural performances, and meet creators who bring tradition and innovation together. In addition, activities take place throughout the city centre at cultural institutions, museums, theatres and other unique venues. From impressive exhibitions and films to dance performances, spoken word and inspiring talks: everywhere you go, you’ll discover new stories and meet people who showcase Indonesian culture in a contemporary way.
The programme will be announced later in 2027
Jalan Jalan presents Indonesian culture in a contemporary way, whilst respecting traditions and highlighting shared stories. The festival welcomes different generations and cultural perspectives, creating a lively and accessible city festival for residents and visitors alike.
