The 'Pasar Malam Besar' is the biggest Eurasian event in the world. It is annually held in The Netherlands, and functions as the most important platform of Indo culture. Established in 1959 it is one of the oldest festivals and the fourth largest grand fair in The Netherlands. It is also the annual event with the highest number of paying visitors of the Dutch city of The Hague. Since 1993 it consistently welcomes more than 100,000 visitors. The name 'Pasar Malam Besar' is derived from the Indonesian and Malay language and literally means 'Large Evening Market'.
Every summer the 'Pasar Malam Besar' is raised on its dedicated fairground, called the 'Malieveld', close to the central train station of The Hague. 22.000 m² of festival terrain and many, mostly Indo, volunteers will facilitate visitors from both the Netherlands and abroad. The festival hosts three popular food courts, a culinary theatre, many large to medium stages for performance art, workshop areas, areas for lecture and interviews, market areas, as well as specific fair areas for trading merchandise.
