This is one of the biggest music events held throughout the Netherlands and consists of provincial festivals such as Bevrijdingsfestival Brabant. Not only does this day provide an opportunity for citizens to show their appreciation for liberation during World War II, but it also serves as a reminder that freedom can be celebrated across generations.

Every year, the National Committee selects a theme to honor past events and their relevance in today's world. A celebration of freedom unfolds at this event as renowned performers from around the globe take to multiple stages with an array of musical genres for everyone's enjoyment.

The Liberation Festivals are not just about music. They also spotlight human rights, freedom, and democracy. Each year, Bevrijdingsfestival Brabant in Den Bosch sees an attendance of around 35,000 people eager to experience the abundance of activities at Pettelaarse Schans. Little ones can explore the carrot garden or listen to stories emphasizing acceptance. At the same time, older guests can interact with veterans who lived through wartime conditions and savor traditional Syrian delicacies. This is truly a unique event for all ages!
