The COC organises a special anniversary this year. The Song Festival happens for the thirtieth time in IJmuiden. A nice moment to look back on three decades of music, community and unity.

The festival has become a beloved yearly tradition in North Holland. What started as a small event for the gay community is now bigger. Artists, volunteers and visitors come together around music and connection.

IJmuiden has been the setting for thirty years. The coastal town offers a unique place where the festival comes alive. This year the COC emphasises what the festival means to many people.

The anniversary makes this moment extra special. A good moment to think about space for everyone. More information about the programme follows soon.
