Sadly, some of our amazing cleaning crew have let us know that they can’t make it to the festival – and neither can the people on the waiting list. This means that we are in dire need of some extra helping hands for the cleaning team.

Do you want make CaDansa shine? Come and join our wonderful volunteers! You would make us (and all of the visitors of CaDansa) very happy. Of course, if you already got a ticket, we will refund it. For more information, take a look at the volunteers page.

Calling all organisers!

13 October 2025
Do you organise balfolk events in your local community? Then you’re very welcome to join us for the organisers’ meeting on Saturday afternoon!

Whether you’ve just started or you have been organising events for many years, we invite you to drop by. Meet other organisers from all over Europe to connect, exchange experiences, and discuss challenges!

🚩Where: music room 1
🕓What time: 14h – 16h

Curious to see which musical talent has signed up to play at CaDansa? 👀🎶 So many fantastic bands have emailed us again, so it was quite a puzzle… Check the schedule to see who’s playing (or, of course, when the silent disco starts. ✨)

You’ll see some familiar names, like Nubia and Wim te Groen, but as always the open stage is a great place to be surprised by new bands.

Want to develop your musical skills or learn to play a new instrument? During CaDansa 2025, we’re offering a wealth of fantastic music workshops: from violin to accordion, from bagpipes to hurdy-gurdy. Space is limited for these workshops, so register quickly!

Registration is also required for the game CaDansa’s Familiar Problem. Always wanted to know what it’s like to be a CaDansa mascot? Then sign up to play. For more information about this game and the many other workshops (including those without registration!), see the workshop program.

Dear CaDansians,

Spring is in the air! Flowers are blooming, insects are buzzing, birds are nesting… And one very special bird chose to set up camp at De Meenthe in Steenwijk. Read on to find out more!
Aside from some ornithological fun facts, this newsletter contains updates on ticket sales, accommodations, and the workshop programme.
