What is Oerol Festival Terschelling?

Prepare to be captivated by an exhilarating program of street theatre, dance, music, and song at Oerol Festival Terschelling. This extraordinary event, spanning an impressive 10 days from 13th to 22th June, offers an abundance of experiences suitable for all age groups. Year after year, Oerol Terschelling attracts a significant number of enthusiastic attendees, making it a truly cherished occasion. 

The word "Oerol," which means "everywhere" in the Terschelling dialect, perfectly reflects the essence of the event: the island is transformed into a stage where art, theater, music, and nature come together. The name also refers to the old practice of farmers letting their cattle graze freely across Terschelling. During the festival, forests, dunes, beaches, and villages are used as backdrops for diverse performances.

The programming consists of four parts: large and medium-sized theater productions, intimate passport projects with small-scale performances, performances and installations, atmospheric music shows, and daily street theater in the streets of West-Terschelling and Midsland.
