YiddishAlthough it is still unclear in what form the festival will take place, we have already placed a waiting list ship on our site so that you can now reserve a cabin without obligation. This reservation does not oblige you to anything, but it does give you priority as soon as there is more clarity. If the festival takes place, we will contact everyone to ask if you want to convert this 'waiting list' reservation into a real reservation on a sleeping ship.
Into The Great Wide Open Vlieland
This four-day festival of which the first edition took place in 2009 on Vlieland is certainly worth a visit. It is a festival that, in addition to music, also pays attention to visual arts, film and nature. It is aimed at culture lovers (with or without children) who long for more depth, tranquility, nature and diversity.
Performances take place on an area of the island that is converted into a festival environment. Examples are the forest stage next to the forest pond and in the garden of the Nicolaaskerk in the village of Oost-Vlieland. An art route has been plotted in the forest around the festival grounds.
Children are full visitors during the festival. The festival offers them a challenging program: artists create a stimulating environment with an exciting and varied selection. Every year the organization invites an artist to stay on the island for a period before the festival and to develop a musical product as an artist in residence that is presented at the festival.
Sleep Ships during the festival in the port
Slaapschepen.nl is also present during the Into the Great Wide Open festival. Various ships moor in the port of Vlieland where you can spend the entire festival. In the evening you will have a made-up bed and in the morning you will have a delicious breakfast. The ships are close to the beach, 50 meters away you can already go into the sea.
Reserve now without obligation
It is possible to reserve a room in advance and if you cannot get a ticket, you can cancel the reservation free of charge within 2 weeks after the start of ticket sales.
