Castlefest is a multi-day folk and fantasy festival held on the grounds of Keukenhof in Lisse, combining folk, medieval, pagan, and world music across several stages with an artisan market, craftspeople, and an immersive costumed atmosphere. One of the Netherlands' most distinctive outdoor events, it draws visitors from across Europe in elaborate fantasy, historical, and pagan-inspired costume for a weekend of music, arts, and community celebration.
