Introduction
From 3 to 29 June 2026, the Holland Festival — the Netherlands' leading international performing arts festival, now in its 79th edition — fills Amsterdam's stages with theatre, dance, opera, music and visual arts from around the world.
Founded in 1947, the Holland Festival is the country's flagship festival of the performing arts. Across most of June it presents acclaimed and adventurous productions — theatre, dance, opera, music and crossovers between them — at major venues around the city, with a strong emphasis on contemporary and international work.
