Festivals and events
Diwali, Holi, Navratri, concerts, dance and cultural evenings.
The major Indian festivals are celebrated with enthusiasm in the Netherlands. Holi (Phagwa) in spring and Diwali (the festival of lights) in autumn draw thousands of visitors, especially in The Hague, Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Navratri brings garba and dandiya nights, and there are concerts, classical dance and yoga days throughout the year.
