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.


Dickens Festival Druten

Perfect for families who want something different from the standard Christmas market, with a touch of theater and history.


The Largest Christmas Market in Arnhem
Bring your family to the Largest Christmas Market in the East in Arnhem: on Sunday 14 December, the city centre will be transformed into a fairytale Christmas village!
