Prinsjesfestival

Celebrate democracy!

Prinsjesfestival is held annually in The Hague during the week leading up to Little Prince Day. During Prinsjesfestival we celebrate that we are a democracy. In other words, a country in which everyone counts. That is why the festival features both substantive and festive activities, such as the Big Public Day. In this particular way we aim to create events for everyone. From those who are politically involved to those who visit The Hague for conviviality.

A different theme every year

Every year Prinsjesfestival is all about a specific theme. In 2024 the theme revolves around the following: ‘The human touch in our rule of law’. Is it about trust or mainly about a reliable government? How do we connect the world of the state and the street? Will a new cabinet seek broad societal support for its policies? What will become of all the pleas for ‘the human touch’, for better access to justice, for respecting fundamental rights? Furthermore, tension can arise between equal rights for everyone and customized solutions for everyone… All these questions will be addressed during the Prinsjesfestival 2024.

Festival for everyone

Prinsjesfestival focuses on various target audiences. It offers substantive and inspiring events for the politically involved, but also offers fun activities for those visiting the inner city of The Hague. Specific events are catered towards students. These are organized by collaborating with schools.
