Solstice Festival

On the midsummer night, also known as 'Solstice,' Ruigoord comes alive with an exuberant psychedelic festival organized by Trance Orient Express. Celebrants honor the sun in a modern tribal ritual through Psychedelic Trance music and dance - their joyous movements filling the air! This event brings pleasure to both body and soul, from exhibitions to chill-outs or just letting loose on one of many open-air dance floors.

The Solstice ritual is orchestrated by the theatrical branch of the village in harmonious collaboration with visitors, music, and, most importantly, the majestic sun's radiance. Together they experience an exhilarating catharsis.

On June 17th, 2023, Solstice Festival will commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Trance Orient Express. The organizer has crafted a unique program and line-up to mark this momentous occasion that you will want to attend! This festival promises a joyful experience as you come to celebrate The Trance Orient Express' two decades of progress in style.
