On October 26th, everyone will gather at 1:00 PM on the Malieveld in The Hague. The stage program begins at 1:30 PM.
The stage program consists of the following speakers:
Additionally, Spinvis will perform!
The march will begin around 2:30 PM (subject to change). We will walk a 3-kilometer route through The Hague city center, ending near The Hague Central Station.
The Climate March starts and ends within walking distance of The Hague Central Station. Plan your journey in advance and allow for extra travel time, as it can be busy around the march, especially at nearby stations and stops. We will keep everyone informed through our channels if there are any major train disruptions or other changes. It may be helpful to leave a little earlier.
The march starts at the Malieveld, where parking is limited. Find out in advance where you can park, for example, in the parking garage under the Malieveld. We ask everyone to come by public transport or bicycle as much as possible to minimize crowds and parking problems.
Great that you’re coming by bike! There are several bike racks next to the Malieveld, but a larger bicycle parking facility is available at the station if you want to be guaranteed a spot.
Groups will depart for The Hague from various locations on October 26th. Join a travel-together event or start one from your hometown. Find all travel-together events here.

Near the stage, a designated area will be reserved for wheelchair users and those with visual or hearing impairments. A sign language interpreter will be present on stage. Chairs will also be available for those who cannot stand for long periods. If it has rained, the Malieveld can be very muddy. In that case, we advise wheelchair users to stay near the paved road. The march route is 3 kilometers long and easily accessible for wheelchair users.
There will be no LED screen on the field. However, a livestream of the stage program will be provided for those who cannot attend due to physical limitations. Information will follow.
Restrooms will be available on the Malieveld. Some of them are wheelchair accessible. Check the Hoge Nood app for more accessible restrooms along the route.
If there is sufficient demand, a low-stimulus block will be organized. This section of the march will be less crowded and will not feature loud music, for example. The low-stimulus block has a different meeting place and runs relatively far back in the march, which will reduce noise. You can register here to let us know you’d like to use this option.
