Belmondo Festival

The Belmondo Festival is Wageningen’s premier international music, song, and dance festival. In the beautiful setting of the Belmonte Arboretum on the Wageningse Berg, we celebrate the meeting of cultures, residents, students, new Wageningenmers, and visitors on Sunday, June 14. An afternoon full of performances, flavors, and stories from all over the world. Right in the heart of Wageningen! Local and international artists perform on multiple stages: from a choir and Bollywood dancers to a breakdance group. From a big band to Dutch-language pop. There is something for everyone to see and experience. Together, they showcase how colorful and creative Wageningen is. The international atmosphere comes from the people themselves: residents with diverse backgrounds making music, dancing, and enjoying themselves together. Admission is free, and proceeds from food and drinks go to a local charity: Buddy to Buddy Wageningen, an organization that connects newcomers and Wageningenmers. In 2026, we will celebrate the tenth edition, a special milestone that we look forward to celebrating together with the city. We look forward to that tenth edition on Sunday, June 14, 2026. Will you help?
