Summer fair (Old) Urk

Urkerdag is a local holiday that takes place every year on the former island of Urk. It serves to celebrate and keep alive the local culture, folklore and costume of the fishing village. Over the years, the festival has become a phenomenon in itself where not only the costume is worn and celebrated, but where older Urk crafts and customs are looked back on.
Saturday 14 June 2025
Brocante Summer Market on the former island in the Zuiderzee with the old, picturesque centre of Urk. A market where you can buy all kinds of gadgets in the categories Brocante, Antiques, Lifestyle & Cosy Living.
