Celebrate life in Venlo
Life is buzzing in Venlo. Major events, surprising initiatives, and our vastelaovend shows how connected and full of life we are. But just as easily as we accelerate, we slow down. Because you'll always find peace here, along the Maas, in our villages, or amidst the greenery. Whether you live here, are moving here, or love to visit: in Venlo, you'll feel at home right away.
Living in Venlo
We are bon vivants at heart. We celebrate life in all its facets. Our city motto Festina Lente – make haste slowly – reflects this philosophy of life. Here we take the time to enjoy what is truly important. And above all, we do it together. Welcome to Venlo!
Celebrate life in Venlo
In Venlo, we toast to life and throw parties wherever possible. Here's what's happening in Venlo in the coming period.

Seeing Sounds
What if you could also see music? In the exhibition Seeing Sounds at the van Bommel van Dam museum, you will discover the work of four artists from different generations for whom music is more than a subject: it is a way to imagine freedom.Yet something remains unseen until you listen. Take a seat at one of the vinyl stations, browse, choose, listen, and experience how music changes your view on the artworks of Raafat Ballan, Sedje Hémon, Sam Middleton, and Dion Rosina. An invitation to look with both eyes and ears!
