Festival Beach
Festival Strand is a festival with a hint of summer. Strand takes place at a beautiful location on the beach of the Haarrijnse Plas in Utrecht. Live music by, among others, DI-RECT, Jaap Reesema, DJ Jean, Paul Elstak and The Dirty Daddies, guarantees a swinging party. For a tropical holiday feeling, walk around the Ibiza market and the food boulevard. The event takes place on Friday 25 August and Saturday 26 August.

After such a day at Strand, a nice shower or warm bath is the perfect way to relax. You can do this at Inntel Hotels Utrecht Centre. The Spa and Wellness Rooms have the best facilities to fully relax, like a Whirlpool, Rain Shower or even a private sauna.
