Where is the tourist market in Katwijk?
In 2021, the market will be located in the Princestraat in Katwijk. This street runs parallel to the boulevard of Katwijk.

What does the tourist market offer?
Like previous editions, the market has many nice market stalls with the best (regional) products. In 2021, there are no themes that are normally different every Tuesday, but for extra atmosphere, musicians will be present in the surrounding streets on summer Tuesdays. Of course, the terraces are open and you can walk straight onto the beach.
