Highlighted Events
Below are some highlighted upcoming events. Events are predominantly in The Hague, but some are also selected in nearby regions and others cities. Also see our 2026 calendar for an overview of more events. We do not organise these events, so please make sure you check the relevant websites and links for the latest information, and direct any questions or issues to the organisers.
This is not an exhaustive list, but we work hard to review the many options in our city and select events that are suitable for the international community. This usually means they are either held in either the English language or are inclusive events where language is not a barrier to participate and enjoy the experience. We are also keen to build bridges to Dutch language events, so work on translations and partnerships with Dutch organisations who welcome the international community.
