Events

In 2026, the Romans will travel to the Veluwe. At Zandsculpturen Garderen, the entire exhibition is dedicated to the Roman Empire. More than one hundred sand sculptures bring to life a world of emperors and gladiators, legionaries, craftsmen, merchants, and ordinary citizens living along the borders of the vast empire.

The route leads you past impressive scenes, informative displays, and surprising details for young and old alike.

The exhibition can be seen from April 2026 up to and including the Christmas holidays of 2027 at De Beeldentuin in Garderen.

On six Tuesdays during the summer holidays, from July 14 to August 18, Nunspeet will host lively summer fairs with a wide range of goods on offer, including book stalls, clothing, toys, all kinds of delicacies, fashion accessories, and special offers from various retailers. A wonderful and enjoyable summer day out for the whole family! Throughout the center, you will of course find cozy terraces for a delicious break. Art will not be missing this year either.

The Summer Markets are open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Artistic flair

The Summer Markets are slightly different from other fairs and have a distinct Nunspeet character. By opting for a new collaboration and special additional activities, the NOS (Nunspeet Onderneemt Samen) and Nunspeet uit de Kunst have taken a different course. So you can now expect a slightly different atmosphere and program at these traditionally busy markets. The offerings of the Nunspeet entrepreneurs themselves are also important; they naturally have many wonderful things to offer that fit perfectly with this fair. Nunspeet's image as an artists' village will be reinforced by the presence of artists at work during the market.

You can also visit the Open Dorpskerk every Tuesday. Here you can enjoy a moment of peace during the summer markets. Visit the church and discover its history. Listen to the organ music while enjoying a cup of coffee, tea, or soft drink. Meanwhile, children can do puzzles, color, or participate in a quiz where they can win a nice prize. You will also find second-hand books for young and old in the church.

Plenty of entertainment

Are you ready for a break after an hour of visiting the market? Then settle down at one of the many terraces. There are plenty of places to enjoy this throughout the center. Oliebollen, poffertjes, candy floss, and ice cream will also be available at various locations.

The Market Square offers all kinds of entertainment, including fountains and giant games. In any case, it's going to be another fun summer in the center of Nunspeet.
