From street sessions to choirs: music can be heard everywhere on this day

On Saturday, May 30th, Den Helder will be bursting with music. The entire city becomes a stage for Music Day. Musicians of all ages, styles, and levels will play in streets, squares, and unique indoor venues. Just take a walk and you'll hear something new.

Be surprised by diverse talent

From children's choirs to rock bands, from classical to hip-hop. Local musicians, schools, and clubs showcase their talents. Often spontaneous, sometimes professional, always with a sense of joy. Music resonates from shops, corners, churches, and cafes. And you're welcome to join us everywhere.

Something for everyone to enjoy

You don't have to plan anything. Just go out and follow your ears. Find a place where it sounds good, sing along if you know it, dance if it moves you. Whether you're there for the atmosphere or to see someone you know perform, you're part of the crowd.

Guided tour
Would you like to join a tour of this magnificent fort? The "Fort op de Harssens," unknown to many, was built as an armored fort by the Dutch between 1880 and 1886, then and now part of Stelling Den Helder (Fortress Den Helder). What will you experience? An authentic fort (without furnishings, etc.) where time seems to have stood still. The atmosphere of 1900 is still palpable.
