Sniester Festival The Hague (24-25 May)
The 10th edition of this annual alternative musical festival will hit The Hague on 24-25 May with bands from around the world.
At Sniester you can listen and watch performances from more than 90 bands. From emerging to established, local to international and from electronic indie to ripping guitars. No crowd barriers, no big names, Sniester is about real action and real love for real music.
Sniester started in 2013 as a passion project by a couple of programmers from The Hague. Getting sick of the same list of expensive, but not necessarily good names on every festival poster, they thought the time was right for a festival with room for nothing but quality and originality.
DUTCH BEER TASTING FESTIVAL 2024 (24 -26 May)
The Dutch Beer Tasting Festival takes place for the 10th time from Friday 24 May to Sunday 26 May 26 in the Grote Kerk in the city centre. During the festival, beer lovers can enjoy many different types of beer in a relaxed atmosphere and unique setting.
For three days, more than 40 Dutch breweries (from large to microbreweries) will present more than 250 beers at the Dutch Beer Tasting Festival. During the festival there is the opportunity to talk to brewers about their beers and the brewing process. Various interesting master classes are given by expert beer connoisseurs, in which you can learn more about the various beer styles.
(25 May)
TheSt John & St Philip Book Fair will be held at the Church Hall (Riouwstraat 2, The Hague) on Saturday 25 May from 10:30 to 15:00.
