WAVES is for everyone

Texelaar, double Olympic and world champion Dorian van Rijselberghe is the inventor of the WAVES festival. This long weekend is all about music and sports. You can also come for the music, honest food or to be away from it all. From enjoying food to sailing, it's all possible, because WAVES is for everyone!
