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. The idea is simple: run four miles (6.4 km) from the village of Haren straight into the heart of Groningen\, finishing on the Vismarkt to a proper home crowd. \nThis 39th edition is completely sold out\, with a record 30\,000 participants\, so unless you already have a bib it is one to watch from the pavement. \n\nWhen: Sunday 11 October 2026. Kids Mini 4 Mijl 11:00\, competitive race 12:00\, business waves 12:05 to 12:45\, recreational waves 12:55 to 15:15\nWhere: Start on the Kerklaan in Haren\, finish on the Vismarkt\, Groningen\nDistances: 4 miles (6.4 km)\, plus a kids race\nTickets: Sold out (entry was €24.25). Charity places via KWF were offered with a fundraising target\nGetting there: Train to Groningen (about 2 hours 15 minutes from Amsterdam). The Vismarkt is about 10 minutes’ walk from the station; Haren has its own station for the start\n\nGood to know: Roads are closed and the city is busy\, so the organisers advise public transport for runners and spectators. \nMore races and walks: Running and walking events in the Netherlands 2026.

SUMMARY:Halloween Spooky Days 2026 at Walibi Holland
DESCRIPTION:Walibi’s Fright Nights are firmly for teenagers and adults\, so the park runs a gentler Halloween experience for younger kids during the autumn school holiday. Halloween Spooky Days is aimed at what Walibi calls brave monsters up to 12 years old: spooky decorations\, dressed-up characters and age-appropriate thrills rather than chainsaws in the dark. \nIt is a good way to introduce kids to the Dutch take on Halloween\, which has grown a lot in recent years\, without the nightmares. \n\nWhen: Wednesday 14\, Thursday 15\, Monday 19\, Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 October 2026\nWhere: Walibi Holland\, Spijkweg 30\, 8256 RJ Biddinghuizen\nTickets: Book online; check the official site for prices and opening hours\nGetting there: A shuttle bus runs from Harderwijk station; check 9292.nl for times\n\nGood to know: Spooky Days does not run on Fright Nights days\, so double-check the date before you go. \nPlanning your year? See everything on the events calendar.

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:Halloween Fright Nights 2026 at Walibi Holland
DESCRIPTION:If your idea of a good night out involves being chased by someone with a chainsaw\, Walibi Holland’s Halloween Fright Nights are the biggest scare event in the country. The park stays open late\, fills up with scare zones and fright areas\, and adds a line-up of haunted houses and walkthroughs on top of the usual roller coasters. \nThere is no minimum age\, but Walibi recommends it for ages 16 and up\, so leave the little ones at home (or see Halloween Spooky Days). \n\nWhen: Remaining 2026 dates: Friday 16 to Sunday 18 October\, Thursday 22 to Sunday 25 October\, Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November\, 10:00 to 23:00\nWhere: Walibi Holland\, Spijkweg 30\, 8256 RJ Biddinghuizen\nTickets: Online only\, and a special Halloween Fright Nights ticket is required; regular Walibi tickets are not valid.

SUMMARY:Bockbier Festival Utrecht 2026
DESCRIPTION:Every October Utrecht turns the Janskerkhof\, one of its prettiest squares\, into an open-air celebration of bokbier. Breweries big and small pour their autumn bocks\, from classic dark and malty to the more adventurous barrel-aged versions\, and the whole thing has a friendly\, gezellig feel. \nIt is a handy one to combine with a wander through Utrecht’s old centre and canal wharves. If you missed the big Amsterdam bock festival\, this is a very decent second chance. \n\nWhen: Friday 16 October 2026 16:00 to 00:00\, Saturday 17 October 13:00 to 00:00\, Sunday 18 October 13:00 to 20:00\nWhere: Janskerkhof\, 3512 BL Utrecht\nTickets: From €10.95; check the official site for what is included\nGetting there: Direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal take about 30 minutes; the Janskerkhof is a 15-minute walk from Utrecht Centraal\n\nGood to know: It is outdoors\, so bring a warm jacket for the evening sessions. \nPlanning your year?

The 2026 theme is Connect. \nIt is free\, it is easy\, and on a cold\, dark November evening it is exactly the lift you need. Kids love it too. \n\nWhen: Saturday 7 to Saturday 14 November 2026\, 18:30 to 23:00 in the city centre (regional locations until 22:00)\nWhere: Eindhoven city centre\, with extra locations in Helmond\, Best\, Oirschot\, Veldhoven and Lieshout\nTickets: free; a paper map costs €2\, and a separate drone show at the Philips Stadion is ticketed\nGetting there: direct trains from Amsterdam Centraal to Eindhoven Centraal take about 1 hour 20 minutes; the route starts a short walk from the station.\n\nGood to know: you can join the route anywhere.
