Helders fees
The village festival you must attend!
Throughout the week, there are fun events and activities that showcase what makes Hellendoorn so special.
From the traditional Dutch ring tilting to a pub quiz and from a fair with old crafts to a true motor spectacle.
Every evening there are also performances by well-known and lesser-known (but equally entertaining) bands and artists.
For the children, there is a funfair throughout the week.
This year, 2025, the ‘Helders fees’ will take place from 10 to 16 August.
