ProefPark Haarlem
ProefPark is a laid-back food truck festival in Haarlem’s Kenaupark, perfect for closing out the summer.

Portions are designed as small tastings, so you can try multiple dishes with friends.
Bring a picnic blanket, grab a drink from one of the bars, and spend the afternoon sampling different flavours while live music, surprise acts, and activities for all ages create a relaxed festival atmosphere in the park.
