From August 25-28, the Juliana Park will be transformed into a cultural festival site for a few days. Summer park parties in Venlo. The focus of the programming is on music in all genres: both well-known national and international artists are programmed and it can only be a party. There are also performances in the field of dance, theater, fashion, film, children's activities, visual arts & science. We speak from our own experience when we say that the food trucks and restaurants on site serve delicious food. Shout out so to the food trucks! In short: something for everyone, even children have been taken into account. They describe themselves as the 'summer culture cocktail', sounds good right? The best part: it's completely free. Every day. Really and truly.

The ultimate summer festival of the south, if you ask our humble opinion? You have to Solar are. From August 4-7 touring Roermond and the surrounding Maasplassen into a festival site where characteristic creativity reigns supreme: from live acts to buildings, interactive theater performances and of course good music. Everything can be found here at Solar. Oh yes, and if you come from further away – or if you want to completely immerse yourself in that festival atmosphere – feel free to bring your tent: there is a Solar Campsite. Also with furnished tents, for the less adventurous campers among us. So never go home again.

You can find yourself hidden in the park Stereo Sunday Venlo on July 1-3, let go and dance at this dance festival with music in all kinds of styles. Think house, hip hop, hardstyle. This year's theme? Southern Wilderness, whoopwhoop. Do you want to be there and start the weekend partying? Then it's time to hurry. The day tickets are sold out, but there are still some weekend tickets available. Eat, drink, dance. And so that's it repeat.

Of a slightly different order than the aforementioned festivals (but a wine festival should certainly not be missing from this list). Are you calling wine? Then we are present. So that. At Drunken Wine Festival is a small-scale festival in a park where you receive your own (wine) glass that you can have filled at various stalls. Red, white, rosé or bubbles: endless options, from home and abroad. Naturally, this goes hand-in-hand with a matching snack; wine & food, golden combination. Do you already see yourself strolling in the park, in the sun, while enjoying a good glass of bubbles in your hand? Then make a note of July 23 in your diary.
