Summertime Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary with three days of Latin music, young professionals, icons, and musical heritage.
From July 16 to 18, the Summertime Festival celebrates its twentieth anniversary on the Grote Markt in The Hague. For three days, the rich music culture of Latin America and the Caribbean, including Suriname and the Antilles, takes center stage in a free festival program. For a brief moment, The Hague becomes Rio on the North Sea.
Summertime Festival presents a rich program full of emerging careers and established names; from original folk music to Latin jazz, salsa, samba, kaseko, reggae, and modern fusions. The genres central to the festival emerged from encounters between African, European, and indigenous traditions and carry stories connected to migration, colonial history, and cultural exchange. In doing so, the festival connects artistic quality with accessibility and societal significance.
The anniversary year is dedicated to passing on musical traditions. Young professional musicians are given the opportunity to collaborate with experienced masters of the genre. For example, the big band Reyes del Mambo, in which young professionals perform alongside renowned musicians. Mid-career artists such as Cuban singer Evelyn Dupuy and the internationally composed group Jabuticaba are also part of the program. For the youngest audience, there is Koló, an interactive family performance in which children are introduced to South American music through play. Another highlight is the performance by flutist and ethnomusicologist Ronald Snijders, who celebrates his 75th birthday during the festival with the project Bigi Yari. Summertime is for the whole family.
Just like last year, there are public dance workshops preceding various concerts. Local dance schools provide introductions that tie in with the live program and invite visitors to participate actively.
With twelve concerts on the Grote Markt, Summertime expects to welcome approximately 15,000 visitors once again. The festival offers a platform to Hague-based creators, young professionals, and artists from home and abroad, and contributes to an inclusive and culturally diverse city.
What if anyone with a story could create a documentary?
This event brings together emerging and amateur filmmakers for an accessible, community-driven day of learning, exchange, and inspiration in The Hague. Designed to lower barriers to participation in film culture, it creates a space where people can gain hands-on experience, share knowledge, and engage in dialogue about what it really means to make a film without institutional support.
Aimed at supporting amateur filmmakers, this event offers a workshop on the fundamentals of safe filmmaking in a variety of environments — whether you’re working on a professional assignment or creating content for your YouTube channel. Led by an experienced filmmaker with over 30 years in the industry, the workshop highlights essential aspects of safe filmmaking practices that are often overlooked.
After a short break, we will continue with a screening of several short films created by local filmmakers from The Hague. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring amateur and beginner filmmakers, who will reflect on and share their experiences of creating a film from A to Z entirely on their own.
Open to all! The number of seats is limited, so please book your spot in advance.

The Hague blues-roots trio Jimding plays on Sunday, June 7 at Café ‘t Hoekpandje in The Hague city centre with guest artist Konstantin Iliev on tenor sax and clarinet.
Jimding brings together three seasoned old souls: blues growler Jim Wake on vocals, guitar, and blues harmonica, with Nico Hart on bass and John den Exter on percussion. Jimding has an extensive repertoire of his own making that sounds familiar in one way or another; in it, Jimding muses and ponders on love and loss, falling and rising, betrayal and farewell, the sublime and the ridiculous, good times and bad, served as a cocktail of irony, annoyance, and appreciation for the absurdities of life. In addition to the original material, Jimding puts his own spin on blues, rock, and roots classics by iconic artists such as Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles, among others.

The Hague blues-roots trio Jimding play Café ‘t Hoekpandje in the old center of The Hague on Zunday June 7 with guest artist Konstantin Iliev joining on tenor sax and clarinet.
Jimding brings together three old souls who’ve paid their dues — blues growler Jim Wake on lead vocals, guitar and blues harp, with Nico Hart on bass, and John den Exter on percussion. In an extensive repertoire of originals that somehow seem familiar, Jimding ponders love and loss, trial and error, betrayal and abandonment, the sublime and the ridiculous, and good times and bad with a mix of irony, exasperation, and an appreciation for the absurdities of life. To complement the original material, Jimding puts its own spin on blues, rock and roots classics from iconic artists like Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, among others.
