Living statues 2026
Sunday, July 12, 2026 &
Sunday, August 2, 2026
On Sunday, July 12, and Sunday, August 2, Noordwijk aan Zee will be all about “Living Statues.” That’s when the 10th edition of the Living Statues Festival will take place in Noordwijk.
Have you ever seen a living statue? Or tried to be one yourself? It’s really hard to stand completely still the whole time and not let your surroundings distract you.
A living statue is both subtle and surprising, embodying humor, emotion, and expression. It captures the attention of passersby, who stop in wonder. A living statue doesn’t simply stand still; it engages in a dialogue with the audience through movement.
Approximately 30 living statues will perform at various locations along the coast, including on Queen Wilhelmina Boulevard and in Hoofdstraat. They’ll showcase their talent and entertain the public with their wonderful acts.
Various mobile artists will also be displaying their skills. And along the route, several street musicians will be showcasing their musical talents.
Visitors can walk the route from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Admission is free!
