In Terschelling dialect the word “oerol” stands for “everywhere” and this centuries old atmosphere of dynamic merriment all over the island is perfectly given shape by the Terschelling Oerol Festival. Every year for a period of 10 days everywhere on the island the Oerol Festival activities reflect the joy and happiness of this “everywhere” feeling. Over 50,000 people visit the island festival and some 70,000 tickets are sold for the diverse performances organized during the Festival.
