Insights & Inspirations
Discover stories that bring Middelburg and Boutique Hotel De Bij to life, from hidden gems in the city to behind-the-scenes moments at our brasserie.
Festivals in Middelburg are defined by a relaxed, "unforced" atmosphere where events like food markets and music performances weave naturally into everyday life. Rather than following strict itineraries, visitors are encouraged to wander, discovering highlights like the casual Kingsday celebrations, free Markt Concerten on the square, or the location-specific theatre of the Zeeland Nazomerfestival in late summer. As the weather cools, the focus shifts to intimate indoor gatherings and modest Christmas markets. To make the most of these busy periods, the guide recommends staying centrally at locations like De Bij Middelburg to easily navigate the crowds and flexible schedules on foot.
