Rapalje Zomerfolk Festival

The Rapalje Zomerfolk Festival is held annually on the big field of the Stadspark Groningen. This beautiful location is the ideal backdrop for an amazing journey through the world of folk!
Great bands from abroad and home, a huge market and of course great foods and drinks: you can enjoy delicious organic meats from the barbeque of the Cooking Highlander, even try out insects and other delicacies and wash them away with a drink from a nice handmade ceramic cup.
Our own "Rapalje Beer", brewed locally in Groningen, is on tap during the festival. You can pay for it all using our bronze Fyndlingh coin. 
We provide a packed programme for both adults and children. Workshops, archery contests and children's Highland Games, as well as just enjoying a drink in the grass with the sounds of beautiful folk music around you. The Rapalje Zomerfolk Festival is a feast for everyone!
