Hey Jopie!
Are you 35 or younger? Then you’re a Jopie – just like Joop Mulder once was, the man who started Oerol before he was 30. A packed festival agenda? We get that. But Oerol is no ordinary festival – it is an experience. Get lost for 10 days in a world of art, music and nature, in the middle of Terschelling’s scenery.
Since 1982, the start of summer, a festival full of freedom and wonder. Camping together with your friends, dancing on the beach, discovering new artists and really escaping the daily grind – that’s Oerol.
As a Jopie, you can get your hands on a festival band for as little as €35.
