2017 Kids Museum Night The Hague (18 March)
2017 is the first year that kids in The Hague get their own dedicated Museum Night. Previously this fun family event was combined with the regular annual MuseumNacht Den Haag (in October). On Saturday 18th March 2017, children between 4 and 12 years old (and their families) are invited to enjoy a special programme of workshops and activities at 20 different cultural institutions in The Hague.
The Hague Latin Experience (17 – 19 March)
Get ready for a three-day journey with inspiring, high-quality workshops and amazing parties on 17 18 19 March 2017!
Meet and dance with internationally renowned artists, enjoy the vibrant music from top Dj’s and interact with fellow Afro/Latin dance lovers from all over the world!
Essentially, THLX is much more than just a festival. It is also an engagement to society to bring people together in a vibrant dance environment, regardless of age, background, religion, ethnicity or previous dance skills.
Behind THLX stands a solid team of volunteers passionate about Latin and Kizomba dance, who are deeply dedicated to make this event a success.
The Samurai Game (18 – 19 March)
On the evening of Saturday 18th of March and the morning of Sunday 19th of March, another Samurai Game® takes place in The Hague.
These personal development workshops have been running yearly since 2013 at the Hagukumi Dojo, Mient 277, The Hague. Again the location of this coming event is at the Hagukumi Dojo, a wonderful body and mind space which hosts also many martial and healing arts.
