Oerol is more than a festival — it’s a meeting place for cultural professionals working in dialogue with landscape, public spaces and often with a site specific results. Each year, artists, programmers, producers, funders and researchers come to Terschelling to experience bold new work, exchange ideas, and deepen their understanding of multi disciplinary arts.
The professionals’ programme is back this year! The upcoming edition of Oerol Festival will take place from 12 to 21 June 2026, with the professionals’ programme running across several days from 15 to 19 June.

- Join the professionals programme, featuring discussions, workshops, and networking moments.
- Get early access to tickets through the professionals presale, helping you curate your own schedule.
- Create a professionals profile to connect with like-minded peers, potential collaborators, and industry leaders.
Professionals Hub: Maritiem Instituut Willem Barentsz
Just like last year, the Maritime Institute Willem Barentsz in West Terschelling will be our Professionals Hub during the festival: the place for inspiration, knowledge sharing, and new connections between cultural professionals. You can visit us here on Monday 15th, Tuesday 16th, and Friday 19th June for in-depth sessions and networking opportunities.
