A Summer Sunday Filled with Art & Music

There’s something magical about ending the summer surrounded by creativity in Hillegom’s Julianapark. I’ve been to this event before, and I remember the joy of wandering from stall to stall — the smell of fresh coffee from the foodtruck, the sound of live saxophone drifting through the trees, and children proudly showing off the small artworks they had just created. This is exactly the atmosphere you can expect at Kunst in het Julianapark 2025.
