Blues Retreat NL 2025, X-mas edition

After a very successful debute last March, we are ready for the next edition of Blues Retreat NL, this time in Christmas style. With a family of about 50 Blues dance lovers we will have a weekend of winter holidays. Please join us, because if you don’t … “We’ll have a Blue(s) Christmas without you.”

Imagine a whole weekend surrounded by 50 Blues dance addicts, in the middle of nowhere, in the last weekend before Christmas.
No reason to go anywhere for three days, just spend time with like minded people, make music, chill and dance.
From December 19-22 we have the second Blues Retreat NL. A participants driven DIY camp where nothing is obliged, and everything is possible, as long as you initiate it yourself.
