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.
Oerol Professionals Programme 2026
Just like last year, the majority of the programme will once again take place at the Maritime Institute Willem Barentsz. Below is a concise overview of the programme so far.
Get to know the new generation of IN SITU makers
Last year’s professionals programme marked the start of a new four-year cycle for the IN SITU PLATFORM. This year, an IN SITU Immersive Lab will take place at Oerol, featuring various presentations and pitches on 11 and 13 June. Oerol Professionals are, of course, more than welcome to attend!
