Easter Bonfire Locations 2026
We celebrate Easter in April. A lovely tradition in our community is the lighting of the Easter bonfire. This year, too, several locations have received permission to light a bonfire.
Normally, it is not permitted to light fires outdoors. This is to protect nature and public safety. We make an exception for Easter bonfires. However, organizers must follow certain rules. For example, the pile of brushwood must not be taller than 8 meters, and there must be sufficient distance from buildings and roads.
Where are the Easter bonfires?
The municipality has issued permits for the following locations:
- Bakkeveen: Mandefjild 4
- Frieschepalen: 't Tolhek 4
- Lippenhuizen: Trijehoek 13
- Siegerswoude: across from Binnenwei 19
- Siegerswoude: Binnenwei 23
