Swinging and swaying in the attractions, old-fashioned can throwing or do you think you’re lucky with the grab machines? Then the fair is the place for you! The fair is displayed for a week in the parking lot of the town hall. Also want some Churros to go?
30-07: Gouden Pijl
A real must visit! At the annual cycling battle in Emmen, the top Dutch cyclists will show their skills during a blistering race. Not a cycling enthusiast?

Feast of love! After a successful and cheerful start to the festival last year, the festival had to return this year! On August 26, the center of Emmen will be dominated by conviviality, acceptance and tolerance. The well-known artists who will come there, and the pink church that is there, provide an excellent atmosphere!
02-09 – 03-09: Culinary MM
For the connoisseurs! A two-day festival that revolves around food? We are already salivating!

And in between?
In between these festivals there is also plenty to do in Emmen and the surrounding area. For example, we have the best nature reserves and you will find a vibrant entertainment center on Saturday evening. For example, go;
- Walking in Bargerveen, and something to eat at restaurant Wollegras
