In 2025, it celebrated its 150th anniversary.
Origin: Originally, it was a festival for schoolchildren to encourage good academic performance and to combat child labor in textile factories.
Children with low absenteeism were allowed to attend for free.
It soon grew into a folk festival for the entire population.
When and what?
Held annually from Wednesday through Sunday on the last full weekend of June.
Fully organized by volunteers.
Free admission for everyone.
Highlights: large festival tent on the School Festival Square, fairground with attractions, music, children's parade, grand parade on Sunday, and various activities for young and old.
It is a typical Twente village festival with a strong tradition, yellow flags throughout the town, and a great sense of togetherness.
