The story behind it
Founded in 1987 by a consortium of student organizations, Dauwpop has become a fixture of the Dutch festival scene. The name is a play on 'Hemelvaart' (Ascension Day) and 'dauw' (dawn), since it originally began as an early morning event on Ascension Day. It embodies Overijssel’s modern music culture and love of outdoor festivals.
