ARTIS Summer Nights
This year, the ARTIS Summer Nights are back, continuing the tradition with the nineteenth edition. Every Saturday from 9 July to 3 September, the ARTIS Park will be open until sunset.
During the golden evening hours, amid the blossoming flowerbeds of the edible garden, up-and-coming Dutch musical talents will take the stage in the ARTIS Music Tent each Saturday. Moreover, every day there will be a varied programme of activities for young and old. The Summer Nights let you experience the lively ARTIS Park in a different light – literally! And no two evenings are the same.
