SUMMARY:KLM Open 2027 at the Kennemer
DESCRIPTION:Big news for the coast: the KLM Open\, the Dutch national golf open on the DP World Tour\, moves to the Kennemer Golf & Country Club in Zandvoort in 2027. It is a return to a classic course tucked in the dunes just behind the North Sea\, where the tournament was last played over a decade ago. \nWatching pro golf up close is surprisingly relaxing: you follow a group around the course\, stand right by the tee and the green\, and soak up the sea air. Combine it with a beach afternoon and you have a properly good day out. \n\nWhen: Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 June 2027\nWhere: Kennemer Golf & Country Club\, Zandvoort\nTickets: not yet on sale; follow the official site for prices and release dates\nGetting there: direct trains run from Amsterdam Centraal and Haarlem to Zandvoort aan Zee; check the official site for shuttle or walking routes to the course.\n\nGood to know: wear comfortable shoes and bring a rain jacket.

SUMMARY:Oerol Festival 2027
DESCRIPTION:Oerol turns the entire island of Terschelling into a stage for ten days in June. Theatre happens in dunes\, forests\, barns and on beaches; art installations pop up in the landscape; and the villages fill with street performers and music.

The 2027 edition is the 46th. \n\nWhen: Friday 11 to Sunday 20 June 2027\nWhere: across Terschelling\, Friesland\nTickets: fast-bird wristbands cost €55 (€42 for ages 18 to 35\, €16 for children); individual shows are ticketed separately\, and street theatre in the villages is free\nGetting there: train to Harlingen Haven\, then the Rederij Doeksen ferry across the Wadden Sea to West-Terschelling.\n\nGood to know: accommodation on the island books up months ahead. Bring or hire a bike\, as not all locations are reachable by public transport. \nPlanning your year? See everything on the events calendar.
