In the east of the Netherlands it is a tradition to light Easter fires. The Easter fire is also known as the spring fire. This fire must ensure that the land becomes fertile. As with many traditions, this is a pre-Christian ritual that was later mixed with so-called Christian holidays. Want to know more about the Easter fires? Read more quickly on Wikipedia.
Do you want to know if an Easter fire is lit in your area? Then search for Easter fire and your place of residence or province. In any case, Easter bonfires are lit in the following municipalities:Espelo, Beuseberg, Velswijk en Dijkerhoek.

The traditional Easter markets are also organized throughout the country. Depending on the location, you can partly go shopping on Saturdays. The Easter market in The Hague on Lange Voorhout, for example, can be visited from Saturday April 15 to Monday April 17, 2017. Easter markets are also organized in Nijmegen, Vlissingen en Drachten.
You can use Google for more Easter markets in your area or province.
Traditionally, many shops are also open during the Easter weekend. In particular, on Monday 17 April 2017, Easter Monday, many shops will open their doors to the public. Because the weather is getting nicer, bags like Praxis, Karwei and, for example, Gamma are also open. The long weekend is perfect for putting the garden in order.
A fun outing for the whole family is to visit an amusement park. The amusement parks open their doors again around Easter, like every year. So it's time to be one of the first to use the new amusement park season. Drievliet is highly recommended, I will post a review of this shortly.
Of course you don't necessarily have to go out during the Easter weekend. At home you can also have fun with your family. Go for brunch together, make delicious Easter bunny chocolate cupcakes together with the kids or just enjoy a visit to the petting zoo. Many lambs are born in the spring and some farms have special lamb days during the Easter weekend in this context.
