vijfdaagse

Vijfdaagse is a Dutch term that designates a period or event lasting five days. It can function as a noun or as an attributive adjective, and it is used across Dutch-speaking contexts to describe schedules, itineraries, or programs that span five days.

In tourism and events, five-day formats appear in phrases such as een vijfdaagse reis (a five-day trip), een vijfdaagse wandeltocht (a five-day hike), or een vijfdaags festival (a five-day festival). The word is usually written as one word, either before a noun or as a standalone noun (de vijfdaagse) when referring to the event itself. In longer event names, it may be combined with other descriptors to indicate duration.

In the Netherlands, the best-known multi-day walking event is the Vierdaagse, a four-day march in Nijmegen. The vijfdaagse is less standardized as a fixed annual tradition, but five-day formats are common in tourism, culture, and conference programming.
