Castlefest is one of the - if not the - biggest European fantasy festivals (50,000 visitors in 2024), happening every year on the first (long) weekend in August in the castlegrounds of castle Keukenhof in the Netherlands. Next to the fantasy theme, it also has a pagan core, as the Wickerman Ritual is one of the main events of the festival. Four days of music across three stages, LARP, workshops, market, steampunk, and a lot more! The first Castlefest-edition took place in 2005, and I've been a regular visitor since 2012.
