Mandala Festival:music, food, drink and dancing with the whole family

The Mandala Festival is an excellent festival to visit with children. From 27 to 30 June, this fun festival can be visited for the whole family, with a special kids theater, a kids sleepover and much more fun. A festival for you, for me and only lovely people.

Visit Mandala Festival with children

An amusement park or the cinema is always fun. But do you ever go to a festival with the whole family? At first it may be difficult for you to imagine. With that little toddler to a dixi. Standing in the mud between the stamping festival-goers. Yet there are more than enough child-friendly festivals in the Netherlands. Where you can enjoy music and dance with the whole family. And good food, of course 😉 . The Mandala Festival in Wanroij is certainly one of them.

Do you like music, creativity and international cultures? And would you like to teach your child some of that? Then the Mandala Festival with children is a must for you! You can read more about it in this blog. And we can also give away 2x 3 Day Family Adult and 2x 3 Day Younger tickets so you can try it out with your family. Very nice to enjoy together and experience some family time.

Festivals with or without kids?

It has already been proven that festivals and children go well together. Joyce regularly goes to a festival. Just with husband and kids! Like Fields of Joy, or Paaspop. If you never tried it; it is really recommended. Although you do have to choose the right festival, of course, but at the Mandala festival you have come to the right place.

Even if you just want to leave the kids at home… and grab some me-time with your hubby or friends. That is of course also possible.

Mandala Festival:a party for young and old

Have you been there before, at the Mandala festival? The annual festival takes place in Wanroij in Holiday Park de Bergen and makes it a party every time for you and your children. You can buy a day ticket, but you can also stay overnight at the campsite. Just like Joyce by the way, because she can be found there too! Whether you go with friends or bring the kids; suitable accommodations are available for every composition. With or without changing pad.

The festival itself consists of 25 tribes, creative areas and food courts. Enough to see, hear and taste! Each 'tribe' has its own character and atmosphere. There is theatre, wellness, and a family program. Workshops and lectures are held. But of course it remains a festival, so there is also a lot of music!

This is how the Mandala festival was born

I personally find the origin of the Mandala festival a heartwarming story. The organizer of this festival (Marcel Mingers)  is also the founder of Extrema. You probably know that festival.

During a holiday in Spain his -then 4 year old daughter- came to her father with a drawing. Marcel asked her what was on the drawing and she said 'This is Mandala. A festival for you, me and only lovely people.”

You will undoubtedly understand that the atmosphere of that sentence is exactly the atmosphere you can expect at the Mandala festival.

Line up

De Likt, La Fuente, Wannabe a Star… there are again more than enough famous names on the program of the Mandala festival. The exact program is not yet complete, but it promises to be another great party, for young and old. How about the Wild Romance Band? Or Bye Beneco, Black Light. Take a look at the complete overview of the line up so far.

Whether you go for a creative workshop or just want to dance in the middle of the forest… there is something for every visitor to experience. Even if he is only about 6 years old.
