SUMMARY:Leidens Ontzet 2026
DESCRIPTION:Every 3 October Leiden celebrates the day in 1574 when the Spanish siege was lifted and the starving city was fed with herring and white bread. Four and a half centuries later the locals are still eating both\, plus a big pot of hutspot (the mash of potatoes\, carrots and onions that the retreating Spaniards supposedly left behind). It is part history lesson\, part street party\, and the whole city joins in. \nThe 2026 theme is hearing\, seeing and tasting\, which is a fair summary of the two days. Expect a nostalgic funfair along the canals\, early morning singing\, music in the squares and a very long parade. Most of it is free. \n\nWhen: Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October 2026. The Taptoe parade is on Friday at 20:00 and the Grote Optocht (grand procession) starts on Saturday at 13:00.\nWhere: the historic centre of Leiden\nTickets: the parade\, Taptoe\, funfair and fireworks are free to watch\nGetting there: direct trains run from Haarlem and Amsterdam Centraal to Leiden Centraal\, then walk into the centre.\n\nGood to know: the full programme is on the 3 October Vereeniging website and app. Trains are packed on the Saturday\, so travel early for a good spot on the parade route. \nPlanning your year? See everything on the events calendar.

SUMMARY:Haarlem Vinyl Festival
DESCRIPTION:Haarlem hands itself over to vinyl for a whole weekend. The Haarlem Vinyl Festival spreads across more than 20 venues in the city\, from Patronaat and PHIL to listening sessions in the Teylers Museum\, but the beating heart is the record fair on the Grote Markt\, where over 65 local and international dealers set up in front of the Grote Kerk. \nThe fair is free\, so you can dig through crates all day and still have money left for records. Some of the concerts\, listening sessions\, workshops and film screenings need a ticket\, while plenty of the DJ sets and the repair café are free. \n\nWhen: Friday 2 to Sunday 4 October 2026; the record fair runs Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: Grote Markt\, Haarlem\, plus venues across the city centre\nTickets: Record fair free; some programme events are ticketed\nGetting there: Trains from Amsterdam Centraal reach Haarlem in about 15 minutes\, then it is a 10-minute walk south to the Grote Markt\n\nGood to know: Check the programme online before you go\, as the ticketed listening sessions are small and tend to fill up. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:PINT Bokbierfestival 2026
DESCRIPTION:When the leaves turn\, Dutch brewers roll out bokbier: a darker\, maltier seasonal beer that tastes of caramel\, bread and a hint of coffee. The PINT Bokbierfestival\, now in its 44th edition\, is the biggest celebration of it\, with more than 40 bock beers to try in one place. If your idea of Dutch beer stops at a small glass of pils\, this is the cheapest education you will get. \nThis year it moves to De Hallen Studio’s in Amsterdam West\, a handsome old tram depot that also houses a food hall next door. \n\nWhen: Friday 2 October 2026\, 17:00 to 22:00\, and Saturday 3 October 2026\, 13:00 to 22:00\nWhere: De Hallen Studio’s\, Hannie Dankbaarpassage 18\, Amsterdam\nTickets: €27.50\, including four tokens\, the festival booklet and glass hire\nGetting there: tram 17 from Amsterdam Centraal takes you close to De Hallen in about 15 minutes.\n\nGood to know: bock beers are stronger than an ordinary lager\, so pace yourself and eat something in the food hall. \nPlanning your year? See everything on the events calendar.

Expect between 11 and 25 stalls from organiser Variaworld\, loaded with LPs\, singles and CDs across every genre. \nIt is an easy fair to fold into a day out: browse the crates\, wander the shopping streets\, and if you still have energy\, take the lift up the Eusebius tower for a view over the Rhine. \n\nWhen: Saturday 3 October 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: Kerkplein\, 6811 EA Arnhem\nTickets: Free entry\nGetting there: Direct Intercity trains from Amsterdam Centraal take just over an hour; from Arnhem Centraal it is roughly a 10 to 15 minute walk to the Kerkplein\n\nGood to know: This is an open-air fair\, so dress for October weather and bring a bag that can survive a shower. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:IamExpat Fair Eindhoven 2026

SUMMARY:TREK Singelloop Utrecht
DESCRIPTION:The TREK Singelloop Utrecht calls itself the oldest street race in the Netherlands\, and it is still one of the friendliest. The flat\, traffic free course follows Utrecht’s canal ring (the Singels) and swings through the Wilhelminapark\, so it is a good place to chase a 10 km personal best. \nThousands of runners take part\, many raising money for KWF\, the Dutch Cancer Society. The half marathon added for the 2025 centenary is not on the 2026 programme. \n\nWhen: Sunday 4 October 2026. Kids runs from 08:30\, 10 km waves from 09:00\, 5 km at 12:15 and 12:30\nWhere: 10 and 5 km start on the Croeselaan (Jan van Foreestraat)\, kids runs start at the Sterrenbos\, all finish on the Catharijnesingel. Race HQ and bib pickup at Jaarbeursplein\, Utrecht\nDistances: 10 km\, 5 km\, 1 and 2 km kids runs\, plus business runs\nTickets: TREK 10 km €32; register online via the official site\nGetting there: Train to Utrecht Centraal (about 30 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal). The Jaarbeurs side of the station is a few minutes’ walk from the start\n\nGood to know: Roads around the Singels are closed on the morning\, so leave the car at home and come by train or bike. \nMore races and walks: Running and walking events in the Netherlands 2026.

SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Enschede

SUMMARY:Platenbeurs Gouda
DESCRIPTION:Billed by its organiser as the smallest record fair in the Netherlands\, this one is all about the setting. The Agnietenkapel is a Gothic chapel from the mid 15th century\, the last remnant of a convent on the Nieuwe Markt\, and in its time it has been a carpet workshop and\, for almost 300 years\, a pawnshop. \nExpect a handful of dealers rather than hundreds of metres of crates\, which makes it a relaxed dig. Combine it with a wander through Gouda’s centre\, a look at the Sint-Janskerk’s stained glass and\, obviously\, some cheese. \n\nWhen: Saturday 10 October 2026\, 10:00 to 17:00\nWhere: Agnietenkapel\, Nieuwe Markt 100\, 2801 GR Gouda\nTickets: Free entry\nGetting there: From Amsterdam or Haarlem allow about an hour by train to Gouda; the Nieuwe Markt is a few minutes’ walk from the station\n\nGood to know: Small fair\, small room: go early if you want first pick. \nMore record fairs: Upcoming vinyl record fairs in the Netherlands.

Comic Con Holland fills Expo Greater Amsterdam in Vijfhuizen with film and TV guests (Karl Urban and Lana Parrilla are among the names announced)\, a huge geek market\, cosplay competitions\, gaming zones and workshops. \nIt is smaller and more relaxed than the Utrecht giant\, which makes it a good first con if you are bringing kids or are new to the whole thing.

SUMMARY:Menzis 4 Mijl van Groningen
DESCRIPTION:The Menzis 4 Mijl van Groningen is the largest running party in the north of the Netherlands\, held every second weekend of October since 1987.

SUMMARY:Haarlemse Herfst Bok Weekend 2026
DESCRIPTION:Haarlem has been brewing beer since the Middle Ages\, so it is only right that the city throws a weekend-long party for bokbier\, the dark\, malty autumn beer the Dutch go slightly misty-eyed about. Instead of one big tent\, the Herfst Bok Weekend spreads itself over a string of proper brown cafés in the centre. \nExpect tasting boards\, blind tastings\, a bock beer quiz\, bokbier stew with chips\, sing-alongs and\, on Sunday evening\, a bokworst eating contest. It is a cosy\, local affair and a great excuse for a pub crawl with friends who think all Dutch beer is lager. \n\nWhen: Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October 2026\, with events from the afternoon into the night\nWhere: Participating cafés across Haarlem city centre\, including Café de Roemer\, Lokaal Dutch Beer Bar\, Café de Lift and Proeflokaal In den Uiver\nTickets: No entry ticket; you pay per item\, for example a three-glass tasting board with sausage for €12.50\nGetting there: Haarlem station is a 10-minute train ride from Zandvoort or 15 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal\, and the cafés are all walkable from there\n\nGood to know: Check the official site for the full programme per café before you set off\, and pace yourself: bock beer is stronger than it tastes. \nPlanning your year?

SUMMARY:Nacht van de Nacht 2026
DESCRIPTION:One night a year the Netherlands\, one of the most light-polluted countries in Europe\, tries to switch off. During the Nacht van de Nacht\, hundreds of businesses and municipalities turn off building and advertising lights\, and organisations across the country run activities in the dark. \nThink guided night walks through dunes and forests\, owl and bat spotting and stargazing. It is the 22nd edition\, and it falls on the weekend the clocks go back\, so you get an extra hour of darkness. \n\nWhen: Saturday 24 October 2026\, mostly in the evening\nWhere: hundreds of locations across the Netherlands\, including dune and forest reserves\nTickets: many activities are free\, some ask you to book\, check the official site for what is on near you\nGetting there: depends on the activity; the official site lists locations\, and plenty are close to train stations.\n\nGood to know: bring a torch with a red light setting if you have one\, and dress warmly. \nPlanning your year?
