From Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26, 2026, you will experience the Jutterhaven Days in Den Helder. For three days, the city transforms into a nautical festival site. With live music, markets, children's activities, and of course: ships. You can walk straight from the stage to the Museum Harbour, and from a lively market to the city park.
Maritime heart of Den Helder
The Jutterhavendagen align perfectly with the character of Den Helder: rugged, nautical, and welcoming. From Breewaterplein to Willemsoord, there is something to experience everywhere. Come watch the Shantykorenfestival, spin the Wheel of Fortune, or join a creative workshop in the city park.
Sunday is market day
It will be extra busy on Sunday. That is when you will find the Jutterhavendagen Market throughout the city center, with stalls, children's sales, and flea market spots in the city park. Stallholders can register via [email protected].
A weekend for everyone
Whether you come for the atmosphere, the boats, or are simply planning a day out – the Jutterhavendagen are for everyone. It is ideal for discovering the city with friends, children, or family. And don't forget: admission is free.
