Buurtzorg Festival

A yearly festival where Buurtzorg colleagues from all over the Netherlands meet, learn and celebrate together.

One day a year, the whole Buurtzorg community comes together in a festival field.

Buurtzorg teams work on their own, each in their own neighborhood. Once a year they all come together at the Buurtzorg Festival, a day for colleagues from across the Netherlands to meet each other in an informal setting.

The festival is held on the grounds of the Dauwpop music festival in Hellendoorn, in the east of the Netherlands. The 2025 edition took place on 28 May. It is open to colleagues from Buurtzorg, Buurtdiensten, Buurtzorg Jong and Buurtzorg Kraam.

What happens

  • Colleagues from different teams and regions meet and catch up
  • An information market, where colleagues can pick up new knowledge for their work
  • Creative workshops

The festival has been held each year since at least 2022.
