What to do on Ascension Day
Ascension Day is forty days after Easter, a day on which the church commemorates that Jesus ascended to heaven after his resurrection. I tell this very wisely, but I secretly just copied it from Adeline. Curious about what Pentecost and the rest of your free days entail? This is her department. In my department, we will be talking about your favorite designers, lots of food, and the coziest parties today. They are coming.

Also this year, Rolling Kitchens is on repeat for foodies on Ascension Day. From May 29 to June 2, you can enjoy the tastiest iced coffees, healthy juices, and the most amazing bits and bites at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. Too far? Then check out the similar food truck festival Lepeltje Lepeltje in Dordrecht, which is also said to be a real recommendation.
Tong Tong Fair

Still hungry? Then definitely stop by the Tong Tong Fair in The Hague at Malieveld. From May 23 to June 2, you can immerse yourself in Eastern vibes (previously known as the Pasar Malam) where the tents are filled with the very best food, drinks, live music, dance, and stuff to luf. I’m definitely going to score a lumpia or three, see you there?
The Moco Museum

From March 22 to September 30, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama celebrates her 90th birthday at the Moco Museum in Amsterdam. You’ve never seen so many polka dots together, it’s a tribute to the polka dot princess that you don’t want to miss.
On the water
Renting a boat is a breeze and super affordable, so come on, get on that water and invite your favorite people.

I don’t know about you, but if Lil’ Kleine, Bizzey, and Def Rhymz are all at a party, I’m in. Where are we meeting? At the P6 Terrain in Heerenveen.
Heavenly Festival

Heavenly Festival is the largest dance festival in the north. Who will be there? Kris Kross Amsterdam, La Fuente, and Mr. Polska, for example. Oldehoofsterkerkhof in Leeuwarden is where you need to be. And if that’s a bit too far for you, then the Losjes festival in Den Bosch is definitely a winner too.
Dauwpop

What to do in Overijssel? Go to Dauwpop, of course. Kensington, Jett Rebel, Kraantje Pappie, Ronnie Flex, Nielson, Famke Louise, and Yung Felix are artists performing at the festival in Hellendoorn. So you understand: it’s going to be wild.
A day off is the world’s best shopping excuse
A day of shopping at Designer Outlet Roermond, which is open extra long for shop lovers on Ascension Day, namely from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Chloé, Gucci, and Maje: I’m on my way, you know.
