Castlefest 2014

The most colourful festival in the world takes place every year at the first weekend of August in Lisse, Netherlands. Not only all the bands, the stages and numerous offerings make this festival unique but the visitors themselves conduce to the big success of it. Once you have visited it, you will always come again. Thus the former insider’s tip became a rendezvous point for visitors from all over the world in order to enjoy a peaceful and wonderful weekend. Last year 28,000 people visited the CASTLEFEST. Most of them appeared in extraordinary and fanciful costumes but even without being dressed- up you are very welcome.

The venue is the beautiful area of the Keukenhof -which means kitchen garden – situated in Lisse which is located in the south of the Netherlands about 40 km from Amsterdam and roundabout 20 minutes travel by car to Nordwijk if you want to go to the sea.

As the name of the festival implies there is a little castle in the venue with barns and other little houses situated in a big park with a forest, too, in an area of 0.32 square kilometres with 15 km of footpaths. There is of course a camping area close to the venue.
