Help us ensure the future of Draaimolen at the MOB-complex

• This petition is important because there is no alternative location for Draaimolen right now. Without the MOB-complex, the festival will cease to exist.
• Since 2019, our presence has strengthened biodiversity and the natural value of the forest. We want to continue this.
• We bring together artists, musicians, and communities from around the world, creating a platform for endless creativity.
• We push boundaries, create space for radical ideas and encourage critical artistic reflection.
• Years of uncertainty have stifled growth and worn down the team that keeps Draaimolen alive. We need a sustainable future.
• As an independent, non-commercial and innovative festival, Draaimolen is unique in the growing commercial landscape of festivals.
• Protecting MOB ensures a future in which culture, nature and society can flourish together.

We know what’s at stake. In 2019 we were forced to leave our former home at Charlotte Oord to make way for commercial development. Since then we have fought to keep Draaimolen alive, never able to plan further than the next festival. The uncertainty has caused setbacks and put immense strain on the team. Despite this we have shown that working independently and not-for-profit can thrive without commercial pressure. Now we need the chance to look ahead. 

Without the MOB-complex, Draaimolen has no future. With your support, we can secure this place, protect what has been built with so much care, and open the door to possibilities that go far beyond what we can imagine today.
