Sustainable festival MadNes
MadNes is surfing, skating, music, art, sustainability and fun on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Netherlands. A festival with adventure, atmosphere and a unique character, and you can be there!
What can you expect?
- Surfing & Skating – take surfing lessons or show off your skills in the halfpipe on the beach.
- Music & stage – enjoy bands, DJs, surprising theatre acts and performances from a floating stage.
- Workshops & sustainability – build a windmill, make your own clothes, help clean the beach or dive into creative workshops.
Come by during the day for a cup of coffee at the beach pavilion, enjoy local music or take a ride on the smallest Ferris wheel in the Netherlands. For the evening programme, you will need a ticket to enter the festival grounds.
Camping Duinoord as your base for MadNes
Camping Duinoord is practically next to the festival grounds, ideal if you want to party until the early hours without a long walk to your bed.
