The Malieveld is part of the centuries-old Hague Forest structure and got its name in the 17th century, when the ball game “malie” was played here, a precursor to golf. Later, it became a parade ground, military training ground and place of national symbolism. Today, it is still an open space that breathes between the buildings, where The Hague gets air.
The Malieveld is the perfect place for protests and public expression. Farmers, climate activists, teachers, trade unions, and students have all gathered here to be heard, literally on the grass of democracy. But it is also the place where large concerts, King's Day festivals, food truck events and commemorations take place. Sometimes exuberant, sometimes subdued, but always collective.
In addition to hosting major events, Malieveld is also simply a pleasant place to be. On a sunny day, you will see civil servants having lunch, young people skateboarding, children playing, and day trippers stepping out of the station and being surprised by the space. There are regular funfairs and food festivals, and big names in pop music also find their way to the field for open-air performances.
The Malieveld is perhaps the most famous lawn in the Netherlands, not because of its appearance, but because of what happens there. It is a place that lives, breathes and moves with the times. Whether you visit for a concert, a walk or to make a statement, space is always central here.
