From Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26, the port of Den Helder comes to life. During the Jutterhavendagen, everything revolves around the sea, ships, and the city. You walk among classic vessels, see old crafts in action, and enjoy music, food, and a lively atmosphere.
Feel the maritime atmosphere up close
Step aboard a tall ship. Watch demonstrations of rope making or net mending. Taste fresh fish, listen to sea shanties, or watch the rescue operation up close. Everything takes place on and around the quays.
Something to experience for young and old
Children climb, do arts and crafts, or join a boat tour. You settle down on the terrace or stroll along the boats with a beer. Something new is happening every moment. From a small theater to a shanty choir, from a ship’s engine to a food truck.
A weekend full of sea stories and atmosphere
Plan your visit wisely: some activities take place only once. Friday often kicks things off with music, Saturday is the busiest, and Sunday is wonderfully relaxed.
