This summer, the open-air theatre in the Fairytale Forest hosts a new Fairytale Tree Show, plus the all-new 'An Evening with Donkey', a hilarious and musical One Donkey Show. The gigantic Genie will return to Fata Morganaplein with new guards, and they put on quite a show! The Droomvlucht fairies will be swinging on the flower throne on the Ton van de Venplein. They'd love you to join them for a chat!

Fun and frolics on the Max & Moritzplein! Bakker Krümel and Frau Schmetterling enjoy joining in with the cheerful Anderberg Musikverein brass band. And those rascals Max and Moritz are up to their usual tricks! The Python stage in the exciting Ruigrijk offers a glimpse into the world of the famous Python Pietje. Find out about Python Pietje's passion for iron and steel in a thrilling performance by The Steelcrew. On the Summer Beach, the surfer dudes in The Red Noses Boogie Boys will be along in their bright red bus to entertain you with sing-along summer favourites. Jokie & Jet and Princess Pardijn will all be there too.

Keep your wits about you in the creepy Huyverwoud Forest. Because this summer – and far beyond – you might just bump into the Huyveraars, the mysterious souls that roam about near Danse Macabre. The Charlatan family will also be giving a demonstration of their dark and magical arts! Come, watch and shiver at Dr. Charlatan's Cabaret Macabre, a musical spectacle full of wondrous experiments and bizarre illusions…

Treat yourself to our tasty new seasonal treats this summer. We'll be serving up three tempting new mocktails on  Ton van de Venplein. Feeling peckish? Try the Bao Buns or Loaded Nachos at the Summer Beach and indulge in Confetti ice cream, Affogato or Cannoli for dessert! The Lipton stand on the Summer Beach has a delicious new mocktail and a selection of frozen sweet treats.

Some fun new souvenirs will be available at the Summer Beach this July and August. There's a sunny Efteling fan to keep you cool, a cheerful lanyard and a Jokie & Jet beach towel. There's also a special summer pin badge. If you're a fan of The Red Noses Boogie Boys, you'll love the new fridge magnet and t-shirt (available in children's and adult's sizes) featuring their bright red bus!
