Zomerfeest
The summer solstice is celebrated with bonfires on the beach, music festivals, and the tradition of watching the sunset at the beach. The Netherlands is at 52 degrees north, and the summer solstice is the longest day of the year (the sun sets at 10:00 PM). The bonfires are the tradition, and the beaches in Scheveningen, Zandvoort, and Noordwijk are full of people celebrating the longest day. The summer solstice also marks the beginning of the festival season in the Netherlands, and the country hosts over 300 music festivals between June and September, including the Lowlands Festival, the North Sea Jazz Festival, and the Amsterdam Open Air.
