Ten days of fun at the fair for young and old on historic grounds

From July 3rd to 12th, Willemsoord will be transformed into a vibrant fairground during Den Helder. Expect spectacular attractions, fun for children, and of course, the scent of cotton candy.

From bumper cars to doughnuts

With attractions for all ages, boredom is impossible. Hop on a thrill ride, win stuffed animals, or grab a Dutch "poffertje" (small pancakes). For kids, there are merry-go-rounds and games, and for daredevils, there are thrilling roller coasters.

Fair between monumental buildings

Willemsoord offers a unique atmosphere: old shipyards and maritime history form the backdrop. A unique blend of history and entertainment.

Accessible and fun for everyone

The Summer Fair is free to attend. Perfect for a spontaneous evening out or an afternoon with the family. Come by bike or park nearby.
