Events
The Veluwe is known for its beautiful nature, vast forests and charming villages, but there is also plenty to do in terms of events! Throughout the year, numerous fun activities are organised for young and old alike.
Doesburg: Marc Chagall Exhibition (until 21 June 2026)
The Laligue Museum is hosting a temporary exhibition on the famous artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985).
The exhibition focuses primarily on his themes: motherhood, women in general, and sirens in particular. His artworks are characterised by a free, imaginative and dreamlike expression. Chagall can rightly be called the greatest colour poet of all time.
Nijmegen: Van Lymborch Brothers Experience (until 6 April 2026)
The 15-metre-high tower hall of the Stevenskerk church is temporarily transformed into a portal to 1400s Europe. An audiovisual spectacle through the world of the Van Lymborch brothers. Experience the fascinating works of these great medieval masters.
Bestselling author Bart Van Loo compellingly recounts the life story of the three brothers from Nijmegen. Travel through Nijmegen and France 600 years ago and discover how Herman, Paul and Johan changed painting forever. Let yourself be carried away by a kaleidoscope of music and animation. A spectacular experience for lovers of enchanting art, exciting history and moving stories.
Ruurlo: Exhibition Fong Leng & Mathilde Chic Le Freak (until 28 June 2026)
Until the end of June, Museum JAN and Museum MORE | Ruurlo Castle are showcasing the revolutionary creations of Dutch fashion icon Fong-Leng.
The exhibition at Ruurlo Castle focuses primarily on the roaring 1970s and Fong-Leng's relationship with “living work of art” Mathilde Willink. In addition to a selection of unique, sculptural garments, MORE also displays denim designs that Fong-Leng created for Levi's. New works by fashion photographer Ferry van der Nat also show how contemporary Fong-Leng's fashion still is.|
Arnhem: Water heroes of yore (through April 19, 2026)
An exhibition about living with and fighting against water. Water Heroes of yore tells the story of the age-long, layered relationship between the Netherlands and water. Living together with water and fighting against it: this constant tension is the thread running through the exhibition. Not only the highlights pass by - visionary engineers, innovative thinkers and successful masterpieces - but also the downsides: the sacrifices, the anonymous labor and the grand plans that were never carried out. We highlight the many hands that literally stood with their feet in the clay, as well as an often forgotten group in hydraulic engineering: women. Their stories, like those of the nameless workers, are finally given a place here.
Arnhem: Rare Beautiful Market in Sonsbeek Park (March 29, 2026)
On Sunday, March 29, 2026, there will be another Zeldzaam Mooi market in the beautiful Sonsbeek Park in Arnhem. It is a market with beautiful products from local and regional artists, designers and creative entrepreneurs. Come and discover, taste and enjoy. All products are handmade, self-designed or produced in small editions (local). In addition, craft (organic) delicacies will be sold. The musical entertainment is also thought of with beautiful live music. Bubble blower artist Frans van de Kamp will give mega soap bubble demonstrations for young and old during this Zeldzaam Mooi event. Admission is free.
Gendt: Betuws Liberation Festival (April 2 to 6, 2026)
From April 2 to 6, 2026, the Betuwe will be dedicated to 81 years of freedom during the 2026 Betuws Bevrijdingsfestival at the War Museum Niemandsland in Gendt.
For four days you will experience history up close here, in the middle of a region that was a front area during World War II. The festival combines remembrance, experience and celebration in a special historical setting.
Arnhem: 'Easter fair' on Rosendaal estate (April 4-6, 2026)
Experience the 'Easter Fair' on the beautiful grounds of Rosendael Estate. During the Easter weekend we invite you to a day full of fun and discovery. The 'Easter Fair' offers a wide range of stalls with both non-food and food products. Treat yourself to artisanal delicacies, unique handmade products and much more.
