Let yourself be surprised or laugh your head off, be moved, enchanted, or simply very curious. De Betovering offers a program with more than 400 activities: theater performances, films, art workshops, and hands-on activities!

What is there to do?

From the Koninklijke Schouwburg to Theater De Vaillant, and from De Regentes to all the libraries in the city: every year, De Betovering presents the most extraordinary and beautiful performances from home and abroad. Would you rather get hands-on yourself? Throughout the city, there are workshops to attend in museums, community centers, and cultural institutions, among others. Or let yourself be surprised by the unique installations and theater in the city streets. You certainly won't be bored during the autumn break! The program will be online and tickets available from July 1st!

Free activities

In our Festival Centre, the libraries, and at 6 outdoor Betovering locations, you will find many free activities to participate in. You can find the Festival Centre at Theater aan het Spui; feel free to stop by!
