Culinary Wadden Weeks - October & November

9 January 2026

From October 18 through November 2, 2025 Vlieland will be the setting for a tasteful autumn festival: the Culinary Wadden Weeks. During this period, local chefs, producers, and entrepreneurs will join forces to put the spotlight on the finest products from the Wadden Sea region.

On the menu? The salty freshness of seaweed and oysters, the sweet notes of cranberries, the floral aroma of elderflower, and many more surprising ingredients that the island has to offer. Of course, local drinks are also on offer: think craft beer, gin, and the iconic juttersbitter. It's all about taste, experience, and sustainability—with a small ecological footprint and a lot of love for the region.
