Artists go exploring for places where beauty and love can be found in a growling world. Sing, dance, sweat with us to bring hope back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recover your energy with writers and playwrights who bring a good morning kiss with the likes of Sinead O&#8217;Connor, Spicer&#8217;s Martians, and the lovely notion that everyone is needed, if only to keep your Monstera plant alive. Audio-makers tell you how a chance encounter at a bus shelter can change your life. If that&#8217;s not enough, there are musicians to get you moving with crushing beats, 2-string basses, harps, soundscapes, spoken word and more. And if all hope proves futile, there are always poets. And you, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a firefly you&#8217;ll swarm past widely different places in the center of Leeuwarden, from churches to cellars and an old prison. Hope is everywhere, as long as you explore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll send you home with a little nugget of hope. Chew on it, put it in the fridge, or plant it in your garden and see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-whitespace small\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.nl\/en\/festivalweekend-2\/\">Back to the festival weekend<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/explorethenorth.stager.co\/shop\/festival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy your early bird ticket<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-whitespace medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore The North festival 2025 puts hope back in your emergency kit We want to spend three days with you&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10741,"parent":5770,"menu_order":170,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"year":[],"class_list":["post-10814","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
