Utrecht Terrace Festival is back. Time to kick off Dutch terrace season on March 29 and 30: the terraces of Utrecht will be bustling with festivities, food, music performances and, most importantly, people relaxing and enjoying themselves.

Terraces in the heart of Utrecht

The “terrace season” of Utrecht kicks off nicely with the striking cherry blossoms all over the terraces of the Janskerkhof. That's why the theme is “Japan”, the land of the rising sun. From cherry blossom to sushi and sake, you can take a virtual trip to Japan on these festive spring days in Utrecht.

Utrecht Terrace Festival kicks off at 4pm on Friday, March 29 until 1am and goes on the following day from 2pm until 1am. Celebrate at a bar near you.
