Keukenhof featured in the Duin en Bollen Vierdaagse on 15 October 2026, when the walking event reached Lisse in the Netherlands. The organiser’s route plan sent participants through the flower garden during the final kilometres of the day’s course.
The four-day event continues until 18 October 2026, but the Lisse and Keukenhof route was scheduled for 15 October. The programme gives travellers a clear link between the seasonal garden and a named regional walking event.
Keukenhof formed part of the 15 October route
The Duin en Bollen Vierdaagse is a recreational walking event across the Bollenstreek. Its organiser, Tjeerd Scheffer, describes 15 October as the day for Lisse and Keukenhof, with the start and finish on Heereweg at ’t Vierkant in Lisse.
The route plan says that walkers entered Keukenhof in the closing kilometres and also crossed the park surrounding Keukenhof Castle. The programme offered daily distances of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 kilometres. The organiser’s route plan gives the date, route and distance options.
The wider event runs from 15 to 18 October 2026, with a different starting village each day. After the Lisse day, the published programme moves to Katwijk, Hillegom and the final route around Noordwijk and Noordwijkerhout.
Keukenhof links a spring garden with an autumn walk
The route places a garden best known for its spring displays within an autumn walking programme. The organiser describes the grounds and the park around the castle as part of the 15 October course, rather than as a separate festival venue.
That distinction matters for visitors: the walking event uses the garden as a named section of its route, while the regular flower-garden season is separate. The operator’s official news page lists the next main opening period as 18 March to 9 May 2027 and gives the address as Stationsweg 166a in Lisse. Keukenhof’s official visitor information confirms the site’s location and next opening dates.
The event therefore gives the place a specific role in October: it is a route location during a multi-day walk, not an additional spring flower exhibition. The published itinerary also connects the garden to the nearby castle park on the same day.
