Zwart Cross

The Zwarte Cross is a unique, multi-day festival in the Achterhoek region, offering a spectacular mix of motocross, music, theater, humor, stunts, and spectacle, known for its Achterhoek conviviality and hospitality. The festival, which originated from illegal motocross races, has grown into the largest music event in the Netherlands and the largest motocross event in the world, where young and old celebrate together on more than 160 hectares of land with dozens of stages and activities. If you are staying at EuroParcs De Achterhoek in Lochem and you have managed to get tickets for the Zwarte Cross, then you are in the right place. From the holiday park, it is about a 25-kilometer drive to the festival grounds in Lichtenvoorde—a trip of about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic and the atmosphere along the way.
