Local events

On Friday 6 November 2026, Workum’s historic town centre will be transformed into a charming winter setting during the Workum Winter Fair. This popular event is being held for the 15th time and is regarded as one of Friesland’s best-known winter markets. Visitors can enjoy a cosy winter atmosphere with beautifully lit streets, dozens of market stalls, winter treats and a varied programme of music and entertainment. In the town centre and around the harbour, local businesses, craftspeople and creative makers will be showcasing their products. There will also be a large food truck area where you can enjoy hot drinks and tasty winter dishes.
