Geuzendag

Put on walking or running shoes or grab your bike from the shed and go with that banana. On Sunday 25 September it is the annual Geuzendag in which we commemorate the Battle of Zoetermeer on 17 September 1574. You can participate in a sporty day during a walk, running event, bicycle ride and more.

Hiking through nature with a guide

Do you know the Nature Garden in the Westerpark in Meerzicht? It is a beautiful place in the middle of the Randstad, full of plants, flowers, insects and water. The Nature Garden guides give a guided tour every month. You can view the autumn garden on Sunday 25 September. Gather at 2 p.m. at the picnic table opposite where the Westpunt used to be. (Westerpark entrance via the Turfberg, follow the signs to Natuurtuin / Westpunt.) Admission is free.

Peace Festival

We are more alike than we think: this is the motto of the new Peace Festival in Zoetermeer. From Friday 23 to Sunday 25 September, the Silverdome will turn into one colorful festival full of workshops, music, good food and culture. Admission is 2 euros per person and register in time for the workshops. Look at here the full program.

In Zoetermeer it is of course always Neighbors Day, but on Saturday September 24 extra attention will be paid to it. There are various activities in Zoetermeer to enjoy with your neighbours. Cleaning up with music, drinking coffee with neighbours, getting to know the neighborhood or a high tea. Look at the Neighbors Day 2022 website for all activities.
