Don't miss the Efteling Summer Festival at Speelweide in July and August. Performances follow one another on the large covered stage.

DJ Donkey plays a wonderful mix of well-known children's hits, adding his own surprising twist. The fairies Rana and Zaniah from The Indian Water Lilies dance along happily.

When the fans gather around the stage, the beach boys arrive in their van! The Red Noses Boogie Boys put on an incredible concert at the Efteling Summer Festival, packed with familiar sing-along songs.

New at the Efteling Summer Festival is The Big Bad Wolf Band. This musical wolf blows everyone away with a spectacular performance full of well-known songs. And be honest: who do the three backing singers remind you of?

In Dancing with the Dolls, Chico and Chica compete for the coveted Red Shoes Dance Trophy. This hilarious dance battle is filled with music, dance and singing. In this summery show, the dolls are literally dancing!

During the day, enjoy a brand-new Fairytale Tree show in the open-air theatre. Well… enjoy might not be the right word, because Witch is in an absolutely terrible mood. Not only because it's summer, but also because Little Red Riding Hood seems to be everyone's favourite. Witch is determined to change that!

In the evening, Wolf takes centre stage in a culinary adventure. Wolf loves good food: he thinks Little Red Riding Hood looks delicious, and the seven little goats are also on his menu. In the hilarious show An Evening with Wolf, his favourite treats take the spotlight.

At Fata Morganaplein, the giant Genie watches over the festivities once again this summer. As dancers, fire performers and stunt guards perform an impressive fire ritual together, a mysterious tiger suddenly appears. Will you dare to stay?

Of course, all your favourite Efteling characters will also be there during the summer holidays. In the morning, Pardoes welcomes you at the Efteling Main entrance and at Symbolica dark ride. Every day, your favourite Efteling characters are ready to meet you. Take a fun photo, give them a hug or wave to familiar faces around the park.

At Max & Moritzplein, the cheerful brass band Anderberg Musikverein fills the air with lively tunes, while the mischievous brothers Max and Moritz turn the square upside down. Want to meet Baker Krümel and Frau Schmetterling? There's a good chance you'll find them near the terrace of Bäckerei Krümel self-service restaurant.

At Ton van de Venplein, the Droomvlucht Fairies swing gently in the Fairy Throne. You can also have your face painted here. At Carnaval Festivalplein, Jokie and Jet are throwing a summer party. There's just one problem: all the dance moves have fallen out of the hot-air balloon! Help them find the moves and join the fun in this cheerful performance.

In Huyverwoud, you may suddenly find yourself face to face with the mysterious Huyveraars wandering around Danse Macabre. The Charlatan family also presents a demonstration of its dark and magical arts. Come and shiver at Dr. Charlatan's Cabaret Macabre, a musical spectacle filled with extraordinary experiments, mysterious figures and bizarre illusions.

Come to the Efteling Theatre and experience Magicaluna: a twenty-minute, non-verbal illusion show where enchantment and spectacle take centre stage. Expect a show for the whole family, packed with wow moments and spectacular choreography. Exciting and perhaps a little different from what you're used to at the Efteling…

Created especially for—and together with—the Efteling, Tiësto produced a dance mix of famous Tiësto and Efteling classics in 2014. This special Aquanura show can be enjoyed every evening throughout the summer.
