Questions
Which Indonesian and Indisch days are celebrated in the Netherlands?
The biggest are the pasar malam season (March to October), the 15 August commemoration and the Jalan Jalan Festival in The Hague. Moluccans mark 25 April, and Indonesians mark Hari Kemerdekaan on 17 August, with Imlek, Nyepi and Lebaran earlier in the year. The cards on this page show the dates of the coming year's festivals.
Are holiday events held on the day itself?
Each date is the day of the holiday. Fairs, concerts and commemorations around it are usually on that day or on the weekend before or after, so look at the events of the days around the date. Pasar malams are held on a weekend of their own, not on a holiday.
Which Indonesian holidays have no Dutch event?
Imlek (6 February 2027), Nyepi (8 March 2027) and Lebaran (Idul Fitri, 10 and 11 March 2027) are national holidays in Indonesia, but we found no public Dutch event for them, so they have no card here. If you know of one, the organiser can send it to us.
