A multi-day community festival in mid-June celebrating the heritage of the Volendam fishing village. The event features traditional costume parades, folk music, local cuisine booths and a funfair. It highlights the unique identity of Volendam (known for its fishermen’s folk dress and music) and is organized mainly by locals and regional volunteers. While it draws some tourists, it remains a local cultural fair rooted in village life.
Volendam has a distinctive cultural identity in the Netherlands, with its own dialect and heritage. These festival days reinforce local customs (singing the Volendam folk song style) and pride in the village’s history.
