Frequently asked questions
Where does Awakenings Festival take place?
The Awakenings summer festival is held on the event grounds of Beekse Bergen in Hilvarenbeek, near Tilburg in the Dutch province of North Brabant – a recreation area run by the holiday park operator Libéma that is otherwise known for its safari park. The festival has several entrances, and its campsite sits directly at the festival grounds.

Wasn't Awakenings Festival held in Spaarnwoude near Amsterdam?
Yes. For many years Awakenings held its open-air festivals in the Spaarnwoude recreation area between Amsterdam and Haarlem. In 2022 the summer festival moved to Beekse Bergen in Hilvarenbeek, where it became a three-day festival with its own campsite; the municipality of Hilvarenbeek has licensed it there every year since. Spaarnwoude (Houtrak) is now home to Awakenings Upclose, a separate, smaller dancefloor-focused festival in spring.

How did Awakenings start?
Awakenings began in 1997 as a techno night in the Gashouder in Amsterdam, organised by Monumental Productions. The brand still runs indoor events – for example in the Gashouder and during Amsterdam Dance Event – alongside its large three-day summer festival on Beekse Bergen.
