Celebrate your freedom with fire on Liberation Day 2024

On 4 May we commemorate the victims and on 5 May we celebrate!

Traditionally, on the night of 4-5 May, the Liberation Fire is lit on the 5 May Square in Wageningen.
The Liberation Fire is the symbol of national unity and of living in peace and freedom.
On the night of 4-5 May, the mayor of Wageningen ignites the fire in front of the historic Hotel de Wereld during the ceremony.
On 5 May 1945, the orders implementing the surrender document were signed there.

From this historic location, running groups set off into the country to spread the fire.
Among others, the 14 Liberation Festivals will light the Liberation Fire.
It is an important moment for the Netherlands in the transition from commemoration on 4 May and the celebration of freedom gained on 5 May.
The arrival of the Liberation Fire in one's own municipality heralds local May 5 activities.
