Just outside Amsterdam, Veerplas Festival is a two-day summer music festival set around a lakeside beach in Haarlem. Expect six stages with different music styles (from house and techno to guilty pleasures, urban, disco, and throwback hits) plus plenty of food trucks, bars, and playful entertainment spread across the festival grounds. With sandy beach areas, creative corners, and music all day long, it’s the kind of festival where you can wander between stages, dance with friends, and soak up the early-summer atmosphere by the water.
