Mark Saturday, September 20, 2025, in your calendar, because Kunstnacht is making a powerful return!

As the artists prepare for their next masterpieces and the programmers develop new visions, we invite you to get ready for an unforgettable experience. On September 20, 2025, we will once again fill Nijmegen with art, culture, and creativity. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you then!

Kunstnacht is an evening full of unique experiences in which surprising combinations of Nijmegen and regional art institutions show what they have to offer in an accessible festival format to a wide audience. By making an unusual mix of participating parties, exciting crossovers with art in all disciplines are created. Kunstnacht challenges makers and organizations to step outside the box and thus give art a special stage.

You need an e-ticket for the Kunstnacht program. You can have this ticket scanned and exchanged for a wristband. This wristband gives you access to all participating locations. There are two types of tickets: with the Kunstnacht ticket you have access to all programs in all zones (including NYMA), until midnight. With a passe-partout or Nachtfeest ticket you have access to the Nachtfeest: from 00:00 - 04:00 in the Vasim.

The program at the participating locations takes largely place inside the venues. You will also occasionally be surprised outside around the participating locations!

There is no minimum age for the Kunstnacht programme. It mainly depends on your child's interest and attention span. There is no special children's program. However, some program components may appeal to young visitors. View the line-up for this.

In our 14th edition, 54 cultural partners and 11 artists come together for an evening filled with art, performance, dance, music, film, technology and spoken word.

The full program can be found online here and in the app. On the evening itself, program flyers are available on which the map and the participating organizations are listed.

You can put together your own route or be inspired by one of our colored zones, for programs close to each other. You do not need to make reservations for any program. It also doesn't matter where you start or end.

Kunstnacht takes place in the center of Nijmegen and the NYMA grounds. The locations are easy to reach on foot or by bicycle.

• Are you coming by bike? There are bicycle racks at the station and at most program locations.
• Are you coming by train? The Keizer Karel-area is close by. Buses also run from the station to various locations in and around the center. Tip: grab an OV bicycle, so you can easily travel between the different zones.
• Are you coming by car? Park your car in one of the parking garages in or around the center (Kelfkensbos, Eiermark, Mariënburg, Molenpoort, Keizer Karel or the Oude Stad car park).
• The NYMA site is easily accessible by bicycle and car and has ample parking space. The entrance to the NYMA grounds is through Waalhalla.
